Nice tut, I might have to do this someday. What kind of costs did you run into for this?
Thanks.

Heater: $40 IIRC ($18 for Kats brand online)
Manifold gasket: $19
Exhaust pipe gasket: $3

So it could be as little as $21 (+tax) if you get Kats and take a chance and skip the manifold gasket. My grand total was $62. I had all the tools handy.

Assuming you don't have the warm-air-intake like my 4A-F (and everything else is the same) I would consider leaving the manifold in place for the operation. (But don't be too surprised if it doesn't pan out.)
