Pre-'87 vs. '87-'95 Gaskets for 350?
What's the difference in these two types of gasket sets? Is it just the rear main seal or is there different intake gaskets for the Fuel Injection?
I need to buy gaskets for my engine, its TBI injected, but not a roller cam. I'm not sure about the rear main seal, but since I didn't pull the engine I'm not going to need the rear seal or oil pan gasket. Would the pre-'87 gasket set work? I don't see the point in paying twice as much for the '87-'95 set if the only difference is the rear main seal.

87 up has a full circle rear main seal, one piece pan gasket and intake gaskets with the rear ports blocked off for the tbi intake. Do not use the old style intake gaskets on your 350tbi, they will fit but it will run hot.
