I need a good place to get bolts and gasket since i am replacing my longtube headers and oil pan on my cobra motor. should I just go with OEM? or is there somewhere else I should get the stuff?
As far as the header gaskets and oil pan gasket are concerned, I'd highly recommend the Ford pieces. Bolts are personal preference. Personally, I'd choose the Stage 8 header bolts and the stock oil pan bolts.
I would also recommend the locking header bolts. I'm going to get some for my 98 Cobra. I bought the car in February 2012, and the previous owner had LT headers installed about 3 months before I bought it. It's now missing 1 or 2 bolts off each header. I'm hoping to buy a set with any money I get for Christmas and get those put on and also have my catback welded.
When I was searching for bolts most places had them within a few dollars of eac other but keep in mind though lethal offers discounts to forum members and customer service is awesome.
