    Whatever you get, turf the cork sump gasket and buy a genuine full rubber one.

    ACL or Felpro Gaskets will be fine.

    spend the extra $20 and get genuine felpro from top to bottom

    make sure the inlet manifold has neoprene with the locator teeth, no the stupid cork one which dislodges under the weight of the inlet manifold.

    Whats wrong with cork gaskets? i have always used them and never had a problem.The one time i did use a rubber sump gasket it leaked and the only way to fix it easily was to use silicone and i hate using the stuff on cars

    Cork ones always seem to leak on me! Or they squish and split if you do them up too tight. Never had a rubber one leak, ever! Also had issues with the cork ones on the valley if heads or block are decked, give intake sealing issues sometimes.
