    I assume L36 and L67 head gaskets are interchangeable?

    I got my gaskets individually from ZZP (minus the valve cover gaskets) I'd recommend do NOT use ZZP valve cover gaskets, get FelPro!!

    With that said, here is my ZZP shopping cart when I ordered gaskets:



    You won't need the thermostat unless you drop to a 180 and tune for it and you won't need the cam bolt. Also, subtract the valve cover gaskets and get FelPro. I learned the hard way, mine started leaking after about 2 weeks.

    Throttle body gasket is cheap. As for head bolts/studs, I spent the little extra and used studs. I am not into the torque to so much then turn an extra so many degrees BS. With the studs, 3-4 torque phases and done. I've used ARP studs on other builds including my 572 with the spray, never an issue... I'm pro stud, LOL they are an overkill but a lot easier.

    If I think of something else I'll post it. And matt is right. The head gaskets are a 9917PT and 9918PT which if you look at autozone.com they are L36 head gaskets... Who knows what's up with that, no telling but they work fine.
