Default LS2 intake gaskets

Has anyone purchased a new set of LS2 intake manifold gaskets? I just got a quote from Chevrolet for $343!! They're O-rings. I'm getting my intake ported and figured I'd go ahead and install new gaskets. There are eight for the ports plus one for the throttle body. If you have bought recently,please tell me from who and how much. Thanks.

I had my LS2 ported and used the original gaskets without a problem. Check NAPA: Manifold Gasket Set (Intake) Item#: FPGMS96718 Price: $36.99

Moved the original gaskets from my LS2 intake to my FAST 92 with no problems.

Yes originals are fine to reuse. Just make sure you do check them for any wear or cuts. I have used mine a few times over with no issues.

Strange pricing at GM!....

I did a check on the 2007 LS2 and 2007 Z06 and found...

*89017585 Manifold Gasket $183.33 - LS2

*89017852 Manifold Gasket $19.58 - Z06

They are both described as a "Kit" in the abbreviated description on GMPartsDirect so either the LS2 gasket number is a "complete set" and the Z06 number is a per gasket price as in 8 x $19.58 or something is crazy wrong with GM Parts pricing!

Either way it looks like all the common brick and mortar places such as O'Reillys, NAPA and Autozone sell the FelPro set for about $40-45 as "Fel-Pro - Intake Manifold Gasket Set Part Number: MS 96718"


If I had to spend $343.00 for a set of new gaskets I'd give strong consideration to reusing the old ones!
