Gaskets? Header bolts? Mechanix gloves to save your knuckles.

If they are long tubes you need extensions and o2 simulators. Do yours have EGR and AIR fittings?

True... I didnt look at the fact it was a 94... maybe some OTVC wires and new plugs then.

Yeah, no o2 simulators since its a 94, it has no post-cat o2 sensors. I second the idea of the over-the-valve cover wire setup. You will save your wires and potential headaches by doing that versus the stock routing. As for the 02 extensions, definitely for the passenger side. The drivers side you could probably get away with, but it is still a good idea because it will give you some extra slack and you can route the harness better to keep it away from hot spots. I would go with the 12" extensions.

I would get the 1" long bolts and anything that locks such as the Stage 8s or Breslins.

Don't forget a jack and jackstands (if you don't have access to a lift). The higher you can get your car off the ground, the easier it will be to slide the LT's in from the bottom.
