2002 Intrigue 3.5 head gaskets any advise on changing them.
Has anyone done a set of head gaskets on one of these? If so what issues am I in for? I am very mechanically inclined and have done head gaskets before. Any specific issues related to this application?

Since the 3.5 is a mini version of the 4.6 Northstar, as a precaution, in addition to changing the head bolts, I would recommend drilling the block and adding new head bolt inserts (aka Time-sert)... This is almost a necessity when changing head gaskets on the 4.6, I don't know for fact this is a real issue with the 3.5, but I would hate to find there is an issue after the job is done... JMO
