Gasket ?s on new intake

[Snowed]

Just got a used street heat, where do I get new gaskets for the intake and what gasket for the intake to head, unfortunately the heads are stock till next spring. Thanks in advance

Not 100 percent sure on a street heat, but my Edelbrock, and several others, the size from intake to head port is a fel-pro 1250. Can get them at your local auto parts store, may be a next day order item, but they should not charge you shipping etc. Whatever you do, make sure the gasket is not smaller than the port transition. I would get the 1250, start from there, and if not spot on, exchange it for next size up or down. Your stock head ports will be smaller than the intake ports on that intake so transition will not be ideal, but no sense in adding to that with a gasket that is too small. Hopefully someone with that intake will chime in on the size/part#. Hope this helps, Joe

Thanks, yea I know the head prots are not ideal, but im not planning on putting any money intoe these heads, cause I plan on buying some aluminum heads either end of this year or in spring, dont think itd make much sense in trying to gasket match E 7 heads when I wont be reusing them, but yea the 1250 gasket number was what I was looking for, thanks

No problem. I totally agree on not gasket matching heads you have no intentions of keeping.

Yea its only temp any, would rather have it on the car doing something till I can aford new heads, than have it laying around the garage, its gonna be a pieced build over time, as I never have to much extra $$ laying around lol

if u have the stock heads u can just go to the local parts house and get factory replacements. as for the upper to lower gasket u've got to get em from summit or jegs or similar. they come in packs of like 3 if i remember right, its kinda stupid, but w/e. if you're running stock valve covers it'll fit fine, but if u've got bigger covers for roller rockers u'll need a spacer too. not sure if it fits under strut tower brace, but I think it does, its short w/out a spacer.

Yea I have a 1 inch spacer as well for when I do get heads and rockers, I hope it fits under the strut bar without the spacer, if not, ill fab up a new strut bar instead of buying an aftermarket one
