I think hughes started shipping them with the fel-pro gasket didn't they?? Or do you have the steel one?
@tatitup8: Grab the plate from ebay. (there is a thread around here with a link to it somewhere....) Less money for the plate, and then just get a fel-pro gasket set from your local parts store for the intake. It will come with all the gaskets you need. Also wouldn't hurt to get intake manifold bolts..... I think they are fairly cheap at the dealer.....

Intake Manifold Bolts at O'Reilly's run about $32. The Plenum pan from ebay comes with plenum pan bolts. You can get stainless steel 2 inch 5/16 18 thread bolts from the local hardware store for less. Fel-pro gasket set from O'Reillys runs about $20.
For the 5.2 motor you get the same plate as the one that I ordered and that I gave the link earlier in this thread.

you can reuse the pan bolts.. the intake manifold bolts you absolutely need new.. DO NOT reuse them!!
as said, the dealer has them cheaper than parts stores for some reason.. OR, you can use grade 8 equivalents to the TTY, but you'll need to use some sort of high temp thread lock in order to maintain the low torque value..
