Im in Cedar Rapids BobbyDiesel. I knew the price he gave me was way overkill. I couldn't believe it. Another mechanic friend of mine said he would do it for about 800 bucks plus parts. Which is still more than I wanna pay. My uncle will help me do it for beer
So it looks like I'll be doing it with him and saving a bunch. Where do you suggest getting parts from? Should I get Ford parts or something else? I know Ford has the redesigned gaskets, but I believe Felpro makes a good gasket also. Should I get new head bolts from Ford or get ARP? Trying to keep the budget to a minimum but still want good parts. What about timing chain?
