upper intake gasket

im going to be replacing my cracked leaky headers soon. i bought a new set of efi manis, got the mr gasket 260, and im planning on buying this gasket for the upper "plenum" (the top half of the intake mani)More Information for STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS PG5

does this look correct? it should fit according to rockauto. i just wanted to be sure tho.
is there anything else that i might need? im going to be bringing all the parts to my local exhaust shop.

yup that's it. you may want to pick up a gasket for the egr too, it has to come off to remove the plenum

Did you get this work done? Just wondering because when i pulled mine off i had a hell of a time. I dont know if someone had done something before but when i tried to reinstall the upper intake manifold i couldnt get the last bolt/stud that goes in from the bottom by the firewall to go in straight or bite. All the other studs went in fine. I couldnt figure it out.

start them all 1st, then tighten, otherwise the dowel pin kinda warps things. be careful takeing it apart, that same bolt wants to twist off. put a little heat on it, might help to loosen it.
