I need to know what I need to get when I pull my inteak off, some people have told me that when a motor gets rebuilt with an aluminum inteak that they get rid of the vallypan and have just a gasket. Then some people tell me that I should get a vally pan and put it back on, I know the vally pan holds the hot oil, but what should I get do I get another vally pan and a gasket? Or do I get just a gasket or just a vally pan, please help I'm lost and the motor is a 350 olds thanks guys!

The valley pan was designed to keep the hot oil off the bottom side of the intake. I would use the valley pan and pay special attention in making sure that it seals well.
I'll so just use the vally pan and no gasket??? The autostore told me they have a 2 peice and a 1 peice vally pan?
I would think the 1 piece design would be a more simple installation but I honestly can't tell you from experience, sorry 8)
I would get rid of it. They are a one piece all metal gasket. They are for iron intakes. They can and have been used on aluminum but the mr. gasket 2 piece set is better in my opinion. Dont use the two end rails. Use a thick bead of RTV instead.
Didn't you switch back to the valley pan after we installed the "SBC style" gasket on your 455 :?:CHRIS.O said:
