If you're overhauling that old push rod 5-0 in your '79 to '95 Mustang, then chances are you're going to need to replace a few gaskets. The kit we have here today will be from Ford Performance and does include just about every gasket you will need for your rebuild for just south of a hundred bucks. Since installing this kit typically coincides with the engine rebuild itself, we'll call it a full three out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter to get all of the different gaskets in place. All right. so first things first. Even though this kit is technically labeled for the '79 to '95 5-liter cars, it will also apply to the 1963 to 2001 289, 302 and 351 Windsor engine. So, if you happen to stumble across this video and you have an older 302, 289 or Windsor, you are also in luck. As for the kit itself, well it is offered by Ford Performance, of course, while the gaskets themselves are actually manufactured by Fel-Pro and are built to Ford specs. As far as what the kit includes, here you go. You will be receiving a brand new gasket for the heads, the oil pan, the rear main exhaust manifolds, valve covers, timing cover, water neck, fuel pump distributor and the upper and lower intake manifolds, just to name a few. So, all in all, guys, as you can see here, a very complete kit to say the least. All right, guys. A couple of quick things to mention. Yes, this kid does include the older style cork gaskets for the valve covers in addition to the intake, which I'm not terribly crazy about. However, they will do their job as intended. Now, the head gaskets themselves do feature that production style graphite instruction and will work with most aftermarket heads in addition to the GT Ford E heads as well. Now, as far as your installation is concerned, this is a unique situation where there will be numerous gaskets with varying levels of difficulty. But since most people looking into this kit will more than likely be doing a rebuild, we are going to go with a full three out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter here and we'll leave the time frame open-ended, as some people just like to blow through projects, whereas others like myself, tend to chip away at them over time. Either way, figure at least a full day to get all the gaskets in place during your assembly. So, if re rebuilding that 289, the 302 or 351 Windsor and want to go with a gasket set from the blue oval themselves, then be sure to check out the complete kit from Ford Performance right here at americanmuscle.com.
