intake gasket
I am installing an serpentine system on an older 350 that did not have one. I had the extra bolt drilled so the brackets fit. Here is my question.... Do I have to get the gasket for a serpentine system because of the reverse rotation of the water pump. By this I mean the cut outs for the water pockets are sealed, do I need to get gaskets that are opened?
Thanks, John

Started to lay SOME BONDO and primer. Done, Ordering paint. Got paint, Stuff painted,Cab,Fenders, Hood more later. 9/7/2015 Got the clear coat on,now time to take one off. Started to put things back (What a nightmare) like the heating and AC stuff,inside wire harness, outside AC unit and booster, still more. May 2016, still working on the inside. Got duck work in,heating and AC. Radio (stock) in dash with after market in console later, Speaker are hooked up, Steering column is in. Getting ready to drop the cab onto the frame, Working on engine now since I have the room. Well here it is 2018, got the engine in and it runs, now I need to get the exhaust system in so I can adjust the lifters, to loud right now. Got the exhaust on now I am waiting for the break parts to come in. |

Re: intake gasket
Closed off would be defeating the purpose. Of course you want them open.

Re: intake gasket
Hold on just a minute, I read your post wrong. I thought you were talking about water pump gaskets.
I see now you are talking about intake gaskets. What heads and intake are you running? |

Re: intake gasket
That's OK, The heads are stock and the intake is a Edelbrock 4 bbl. I can get you the type later if you need it.

Re: intake gasket
The serpentine system has nothing to do with the intake gaskets. However, You do need a reverse rotation water pump for a serpentine system
