tpi intake gaskets

i am going to swap in a 350 and use the TPI from my 305. the 350 is complete except for the intake. my question is what gaskets will i need? is there a kit for all the gaskets i can buy anywhere? i know i need gaskets between the intake and the heads, but what else? arent there gaskets between the runners and the base or the plenum and the base?

If parts are aftermarket consult the manufacturers.If the parts are gm I would consult the dealer or your favorite parts store. I personally would not take the advise of others for gasket fitment. I would physically match up the gasket with the part. good luck with your project.

thanks. i found a complete tpi intake gasket set on ebay for only 20 bucks. im considering getting some SLP runners for it, so if these gaskets dont line up, that may be my excuse to buy the runners since they come with gaskets anyway.

SLP runners use the stock gaskets. To trouble either way. I normally use the gm(victor) gaskets on stock stuff, The set is very complete including the egr gaskets and all others. Very complete kit for $30 or so. I think it even includes the fuel injector o-rings. A felpro intake gasket is good. Just not as complete as GM.
