jetech,

I have not used that oil pan gasket although it seems to me to be designed to eliminate several problems - I would use it. You might check the Fel-Pro web site for more information on their PermaDryPlus gaskets.

The Fel-Pro MS 90314-2 has been recommended on the forum for SBC intake manifolds. One NCRS source I read recommended the Fel-Pro 1256. The 1256 gasket may have an appearance most like the original gasket, while the 90324-2 gasket way work better.

There is another thread currently running on exhaust manifold gaskets. Corvette SBC's did not use an exhaust gasket between the head and the exhaust manifold.

Actually, I think it is the opposite. Usually the OEM Fel Pro gaskets are numbered like MS 90324-2 while the performance division of Fel Pro gaskets are given a 4 number part number. I'm actually shocked an NCRS recommended the 1256 gasket.

I highly recommend the 1 piece oil pan gasket. Much more info here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=326979

STRONGLY recommend the Fel-Pro one-piece gasket. Mine came with guides/studs that hold the gasket on the block while you attach the pan.

I havnt used the one piece pan gasket. I really like the felpro high performance print o seal intake gaskets. Also the high performance felpro exhaust are some of the best out there. They make several different types. Make sure you get the sandwich kind with metal in the middle and gasket material sandwiching the outer sides. Awsome gaskets in my opinion.
