Well, I got the 4.0 back from the machine shop, complete rebuild, all new except crank was "turned" 10/10 & rods. I have a set of Banks Torque Tubes. My question is: is the gasket that came with them any good, or should I get a Felpro? Don't want to scrimp now, almost everything is new, water pump & t-stat, new hoses & radiator, cps. Am going to check face plate when the old motor is removed & replace front seal on transmission. If I need to do anything else, please advise. What about torque convertor, has 256,000 miles.

I used a Victor-Reinz multilayered steel gasket on mine and it looked like it will last awhile. I was impressed with the construction of it. $12 at rockauto.com

I would replace the torque converter just for the new lock-up clutch.
