Anyone happen to have any new or like new systemax intake gaskets? I need two for the upper to lower gaskets

Would a factory truck one work? I thought the systemax used the truck lower.

Ran a systemax for years, and the felpro truck gasket is trash. Ports are not all shaped correctly. Trick Flow brand gaskets are the shit and well worth the price.

Ok, maybe just a f150. I went 10.45 with an autozone gasket, they work just fine.

Just if there's any intake to head gaskets you'd reccomend..... I don't remember which felpro one's I bought but you have to cut off this little tab on the first and last runner on each one and I dunno I'd think there would be some better one's or ???

Have the heads or lower been ported? Just measure the ports up. Felpro gives the dimensions of their gaskets. Here is an example:

I don't think they've been ported althought I should have atleast had them gasket match them when I had them freshened up......
