Well I got this project completed. Thank you to those who provided information. I put OEM weather stripping in. It is in the pic below for those who want the part number. This one also came from China, the DOT for the American plant is DOT 1038 for those interested.

I did a new long block a few years ago for around $12k. I bought a new short block and naked head and bought all the pieces to make the head complete. My mechanic (who was a nightmare) charged way too little for his efforts. You can look at my build here: GG engine replacement.
I am looking for a replacement fender for my 96' and noticed on Partsouq that there are two variations. Part #
5380160483 and 5380160223. One comes with over fender and mud guard and side step. I assume it is the one without. Amayama seems to have both available (fingers crossed) These are...
