You can get them at your Ford dealer. Or partsguyed in the shop tab at top. I ordered mine when I ordered my oil cooler an ARP studs from IPR Research. What kinda head gaskets are you going to use. I have read on here some of the black oynx gaskets blowing out. Most say use stock ones.

If you go with stock headgaskets, and you should, the new style standpipes come in the headgasket kits (you'll need 2). All you need to order is the new style dummy plugs that go in the high pressure oil rails.
Dummy rail plugs: W302908
Kit for dummy plugs and stand pipes: 6E7Z-9A332-B
STC Kit 4C3Z-9B246-F 1879930c91 (IH part number)

I hope that doesn't come with their own head gaskets.

Opinions on the VR headgaskets are very mixed. They have had a LOT of reported failures. I know a lot of people that use them with no problems but I know of a lot of problems. I know of one large (reputable) rebuilder in Calif. that had multiple failures with them and only uses OEM now.

That is somewhat the same thing that a RR kit would do. I just don't think either FASS or AirDog eliminates the dead-heading.
