6 banger gasket kits?
I finally got to working on my 70 GMC in an attempt to cure the exhaust leak at the header pipe. I snapped off one the studs when removing the collar.... oh well I was ready for that. I pulled the headers down from the rafters and off came the hood, the carb & intake. I did a test fit and it looks like I'm going to have to grind a little off the drivers motor mount. So I went shopping for a gasket set and found Hooker makes a true header gasket to fit the I-250CID but nobody has a real intake gasket to match. I was hoping to find a copper gasket to help with any leakage problems.
Any Vendors out there carry such a set of Intake & Exhaust or should I just use the single piece stock gasket and hope for the best? I might pull the motor and cure a few minor oil leaks while I'm at it. So if anyone knows of a parts source for the whole gasket kits for cheap post up a link. The going price around here is about 60-70 bucks for the whole felpro kit. |

Re: 6 banger gasket kits?
napa's intake/exahust gasket isnt copper but its a metal gasket, we also carry a full gasket set, or just a head set. If it can be put on a car, we can get it for you

Re: 6 banger gasket kits?
Yea, I know I can get the single piece gasket, about 10 bucks from the local NAPA but will it seal up good?

I used the Napa kit on the wife 62 they make a good kit. Stove bolt engine company sells a cast header that is real high quality.

Re: 6 banger gasket kits?
That's what I'm using along with a stock gasket and the stock intake but going with a Clifford intake next week.

Re: 6 banger gasket kits?
I have checked the Clifford performance site, Inliners.org and Stovebolt, JC Whitney, Parts America and several others. Clifford's are the only ones who sell an exhaust gasket for the 250....
![]() ![]() I already have a set of headers. I guess I just used to installing V-8 headers that don't always seal up sometimes. |

Re: 6 banger gasket kits?
The combined/stock Felpro is #9786. This is good for the factory manifolds.
I like the Felpro HP: intake #1257 (much better for aluminum). exhaust #1448 (better for tube headers). |

I use one. I recommend you coat both sides with Permatex copper-Spray-a Gasket and also bead the seals with hi-temp silicone. Let the wet gasket set up overnight before firing up the L6.
