Intake gasket?

[Forzfed]

I'm going to be putting together my motor soon.  What is the best intake gasket to use?  I always stick with the one piece but it's been a while, is there a preferred brand?

Never had an issue with the Victor Reinz. Napa used to carry them try MS15958

Thanks Dave, that one looks just like the GM one!

I use the Felpro metal ones...no issues.

Felpro one peice for my build and when I swapped out lifters. No issues

I did use the Felpro, a little brain dead this morning.  Thanks, guys!

Get one for an earlier V6. It'll be cheaper and won't have the hole for the EGR port to pressurize the intake.

What year 231?

The champion heads have that all filled in.

Looks like it goes all the way to 87 for whatever a VIN A is....

Thanks Earl. Bookmarked it. For shits and giggles I'm gonna price at the parts place here in town...let's see the difference. I'm gonna say triple.

Good to know, thanks Earl!

Look that gasket up at advance, vatozone, and Amazon and see what it'll be shipped to Canadia.   With any luck you might find a link that hasn't learned what a PIA it is getting over the border.
