I ended up using Merc header gaskets for a 500 efi. They worked perfect and no leaks. As for the accessories I have fabbed brackets off of the intake and my shifter bracket is on the transom. I have 5" tips and instead of using a 4" to 5" adapter I just cut off the 4" reducer and used a 5" hose to make the connection.
