I found a good deal on a 2006 L26 with 103K for $350 to replace the L36 in my 99 GT. Should I replace all the gaskets before I install the engine or just wait until there's a problem? I can't really decide which way to go so help me make a decision.

Two things.
1) Yes. I'd re-gasket and flush/replace all the fluids.
2) Where did you get an L26 that cheap? I need a motor. LOL
That's what I was thinking of doing, but then thought that it's only got 103K. Guess it's easier to do while the engine is already out.
Should I do head gaskets and UIM/LIM gaskets or just the intakes?
I got the engine from Midway Auto Parts in KCMO. Search on car-part if you want to use them. If you search on their website the price shown includes shipping, but they told me they only deliver to shops. There are several L26's available from them from 2004 all the way to 2008. I almost went with a 2007 with 39K for $475 but decided to save the money in case my tranny needs work.

If you got the 2007 L26 with 39K on it it would not need any maintenance so its cheaper then the other L26 with 103K.
