Any of the composite gaskets would be fine for your aluminum intake (if you can locate them). Do not use steel. Those are meant for cast iron intakes. I bought several NOS Offenhauser Poly intake gaskets from a seller on Ebay who seems to be a regular seller. I suggest you keep checking there. Thanks!...yep aware the steel gaskets are for cast iron intakes, there's one cottage mfg making composites with a steel core, not to sure what to make on them, they come in at .050 thick with a silicone print-o-seal, I've scanned Ebay but no luck so far.... would prefer mfg recommended gaskets Mike

hi
steel just for cast iron ????
most all 361 383 413 426w 440 use a steel shim valley pan gasket iron or alu intakes !
i have use many on the b rb motors with no prob .
more important is the fit between heads and block for good seal !
Agreed, however the subject is a 1961 318 Poly, very much like a smblk LA (67- up) mopar, just front/rear seals and runner gaskets, no valley pan/gasket Mike

Bruce Toth wrote a bunch of poly articles for chrysler power magazine dealing with intakes and heads. maybe give him a call ? Toth Performance : 724-290-2497 Moparx, I've got the info on Toth's gasket offerings, will probably lean that way, just exploring any other avenues/options/preferred choices that might be available? Thanks Mike

sure Mike. i didn't know if you knew about Toth or not. i don't know much about poly's other than the ones i have had over the years. that just amounts to some ran great, while others were junk.
