Org owner low mile 82-92 SBC cars
Ok, I'm having a friendly little debate with a feller about exhaust manifold gaskets and whether or not they were on SBCs motors in these cars from the factory in 82-92.
If your a original owner, or a low mile owner and have any, hard to get pix, of the exhaust manifold to head area, I'd like to see them.
I know which way I'm leaning but would like a unbiased response.
Post them up!

Yep, as far as I have ever seen, gm did not put gaskets in the manifolds.

I know they started using the steal gaskets somewhere on the LT1 cars but not sure if it was in 93 or someplace later.

No gaskets on stock manifolds.
L31 has steel shim gaskets nice and reusable.
Those foil/graphite rebuilder exhaust gaskets are the worst!!!!!
Scrape for days...
