The Goodwrench Quest, Part IV
You have a couple of choices when it comes to intake manifold gaskets. The stock Chevrolet gasket (top) offers snap-in-place convenience with a silicone outline around the ports and the water jackets. Fel-Pro also offers a replacement gasket (bottom) that will work with either the 8-bolt Vortec pattern or the standard small-block Chevy 12-bolt intake manifold pattern. This is a Vortec-specific gasket because the port layout on the Vortec head is wider at the bottom than it is at the top, which would require trimming on a standard small-block gasket.
