I know the cause is a leaking plenum gasket. I just wanted to know what to expect while changing it, what special tools i may need, what to replace while everything is tore out, who makes the best gasket so I dont have to do this again.

Be careful with the intake bolts next to the water passages in the heads thay are prone to corrode and sometimes twist off durring removal. Might wanna pick up some new bolts before you start. 392 gen III hemi on E-85 727 trans Dana 60 10.02@134
