    Intake Manifold Gasket Recommendations

    I am planning a 2BBL intake carb swap for a Holley intake and 4BBL carb.
    Last time I performed this swap, I used a metal Fel-Pro valley pan gasket, shellacked the gasket surfaces and used RTV on each end.

    But, I've been reading and studying some on this topic and now I think maybe there could be other options/better methods.

    So, my question is: What do you recommend for a intake gasket for an AMC 360?

    I asked the exact same question here and the general consensus was to stick with the valley pan

    If properly used the Mr.Gasket's work great. If you use these just make sure you have a pcv baffle on the bottom of your intake.

    I used the tin gasket a couple of times & had nothing but leakage issues. Switched to the Mr.Gasket's & I havent had a problem since.
