That gasket is brutus and worth every penny. Get one and set it beside the Felpro and you'll understand.

Last time the one from my Sealed Power gasket set blew out, I ended up pulling the motor to get things in order. So I got tweaked a little.

I have to agree on this, the Mopar performance gaskets are the ****. Thing is these gaskets are not getting replaced by Ma Mopar once they are gone they are gone. I think RnR might have got the last of the full rebuild gasket kits, and I think he found that a Summit racing.

stock heads?

and OBD1?

I would hope for 300hp/400tq. Pretty sure the SBEC Holley EFI won't support more than 300hp.

I have the same fuel injection as yal do on your rams. Nothin different about this motor other than being obdI. I was hoping for closer to 350-375ish hp. But I'd be cool with 300 hp and 400 tq

The stock computer probably won't be able to take much advantage of the big cam.

If the cam is too big, it will annoy the computer, and it will run like doo doo.

I can't find part numbers for the Mopar P pcm for that year of 5.9 truck, 5.2 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the 5.2 Dakota yep, the op might look deeper to see if there is one out there that I don't have a part number for. Other than that B&G or a stand alone setup.
