gasket kits?

looking to replace the gaskets on my upper intake and manifold base on the old tpi. anyone recommend a decent place/price? thinking about swapping out this motor so i don't want to spend much but i'd hate to ruin a decent motor putting something on that will fail.

it's just a little 305.

91.

i don't have the time to do it myself so i called around. best price i got was $160 for the gaskets and another $100+ for the labor. just wanted to see if this is fair.

it's a 305 tpi. basically needs the lower manifold removed, cleaned and a new gasket along with new upper and lowers for the runners and plenum deal.

i did a set on my l98 8 years ago but i don't remember the price and my labor was free.

Re: gaskit kits?

that seems kind of high for the gaskets

you can buy the kit at autozone for about 25 bucks for the intake and upper gaskets
