Like these... International Bellowed Up-pipe Accumulator Gasket Set for Ford 7.3L (94- Early 99)
You think those are worth the extra $30 over those copper gaskets?

I made flat flanges for mine then cut gasket for them. They were OK but burned out. Then I switched to cutting a donut in half. We'll see how that goes. I so have a set of stainless gaskets from riff raff but I think it would be better to have the collector flat as well so that may mean welding the chamfer and flattening it for a good seal.
Any how get r done.

Spent last night ordering parts, so no work got done on the truck. The price of the bellows has gone up considerably since Bill first posted his DIY thread. Total cost for the bellows, International gaskets from Riffraff, and the flanges is about $165. Still way cheaper than the International pipes, but clearly shows that Riffraff's pipes for under $500 are a good deal.

Anybody have a turbo collector they want to get rid of? One of the up pipe bolts broke off in mine. I'm looking for something in the cheap to free range (spent too much already). I tried to drill it out, but without a drill press and the bit walked quite a bit before it made it through to other side. I could probably still make it work since I'm getting slotted flanges.
Anyhow, turbo is out, fuel pump is gone, EBPV has been gutted (just need a freeze plug to close the shaft hole), and I started sorting all my parts for the efuel.

Got my flanges, bellows, and a yellow tape box yesterday. Tonight I should get my injectors, clutch kit, and rear main seal. I didn't get much done due to today being the first day of school for the kids, but I did finish wiring the FP relay into the fuse box (only 2 new wires coming out of it) and bolted the filters and pump to my bracket.
This is how I plan to wire the fuel pump so that it will get a short pulse to prime the system when I turn the key on.
EDIT: The original diagram didn't work properly; see post #40 for final wiring diagram.

Since I had been planning the efuel swap before the clutch went out I was going to use the stock fuel lines with the correct hydraulic fitting for the banjo bolt. I didn't want to try to bend new lines or even attempt to reach the rear fittings. But now the turbo is out and the stock lines seemed really loose, so I figured I might as well make some new lines using 5/16" steel and compression fittings (big thanks to Bill for this idea!).

Everything is looking good sir! Keep up the good work!

They were absolutely awesome. I called less than an hour before closing and they still shipped the same day. And it's really nice that you don't have to pay the core charge up front when pre-shipping injectors. They only charge you if you do not send your cores back within 30 days or don't make arrangements for more time.
