FelPro gaskets are preferred, yep.
Several members have the air gap, all of them like it.
Some have reported having a bit of fun with the fuel crossover tube at the rear of the fuel rails. But, aside from that, it's a pretty straightforward install. Solve the plenum problem permanently.

All I have is the air gap, SCT tune and a poor man's tb (not tuberculosis) I really don't feel a difference. I am, however getting ready to install some JBA headers (thanks to matty) and install a comps cam timing chain (cheapest one I could find) So we'll see what happens.
When I had my kegger and installed my tunes, now THAT was one hell-of-a difference. As soon as I installed my air gap, that went away. I told hemifever about that, but he said it has nothing to do with the tune.
The 2 main reasons I installed my air gap was: 1) my plenum was leaking (surprise surprise) and 2) I was able to buy it off of a member here for $100
Hey info, I found my spare fuel hose if you want it. You'd just have to buy some fuel injector clamps DO NOT USE HOSE CLAMPS!!!

I've already ordered a new timing set, thermostat, water pump and some new hoses - I haven't ordered felpro gaskets yet, that is next. As well, I'm _STRONGLY_ considering ordering pacesetter long pipes and installing a true dual exhaust. My understanding is setting up the O2 sensors in H pipes will sort out a number of problems (as I plan to take out the cat).
Also... if my typng is off... sorry. was out drinking all night for the bday!

Howdy All!
I'm bringing this one back to life instead of starting a new one! I'm on the West Coast, enjoying beautiful BC while I'm on some leave! Gotta love the military life! 3 weeks off and they flew me across the country!
Stopped in at MOPAC today to talk to them about picking up a FELPRO gasket kit for the truck, but they told me they don't make one. Which... I was surprised to hear.
I had found THIS ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FEL-KS2109/ ) while I was searching earlier and went there to pick it up... but the guy seemed very certain that Fel-Pro doesn't make a gasket set for the Dodge 5.9L/360. He said they sold a conversion kit and some other kit...
Perhaps someone can set me straight? I'm looking at the kit as I'm sure I'll use a large number of the gaskets when I do the FI Airgap, timing chain, etc, etc, etc.
Thoughts and Help?
Thanks,
InfO.

That's for an LA block. You have a Magnum block. Why not just piece it out? If not, this is what you'd want: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SL...1864/?rtype=10 The pic is not the actual set.
Or this depending on what gaskets you need: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FEL-CS98982/
