This is being discussed in another thread today here:

The Felpro gaskets mentioned are available from Rockauto.com at a good price.

Best place is the least expensive including shipping and any tax. Shop around on the net or eBay. Careful about eBay as there were plastic tensioners for sale in the past few months that nowhere in the listing was the word 'plastic' but photo showed white plastic.

I think I paid $53 and $56 plus $1.50 x 4 for the bolts but the shipping was about $12.

RockAuto has, consistently, been the low price leader on the FelPro gasket set.

Test Point bought his tensioners for a very low price. I see'em online from $77 to $115--prices all over the place. http://www.tituswillfordparts.com and Tousley Ford Parts (10% over cost) seem to have the best online prices (in the mid $50's)--asking for 01 Lincoln LS or TBird secondary tensioners. RockAuto.com has the Fellpro Gaskets VS50724R for my 99 model--98 model or before takes a different gasket. HM1 needs to put his year and car description in his address to get better info.
