1965 273 Intake Manifold Gaskets

[Coda Improvements]

New to the forum, and amazed with all the great information. Looking to assemble a 1965 273 with an Edelbrock D4B intake manifold and Carter AFB. Fel-Pro MS9935 gaskets are out of stock everywhere. Any suitable replacements that are similar?

Welcome to the site. Look around for Mahle MS15125 or Victor 111053101 as well.

You might also check with Edelbrock for their thicker gasket which they reccommend using.

I have a Fel Pro set laying around someplace, if you can't find one. It will take me a bit to find it.

Thanks , I didn’t think of that.

Thanks, this place is great. Like an encyclopedia of tech!

Rockauto shows those PN's, but both "Out of Stock". You can click their "Notify Me When Available Button", but can be a long or even infinite wait.
I wonder if a later year could work, even for the Magnum engines. Might need to enlarge around the bolt holes w/ gasket punch, and some later heads had taller intake ports, but might still seal.

Seems two years later and you still can't find intake gaskets for a 273.

The 273, 318, and 340 engine gaskets are interchangeable.

So what have others used on their 273 four barrel? RockAuto shows this one on a 318 Fury in 1965, but I don't think it's correct for my application.

THat's for a POLY engine not the LA small blocks.

I see these are the smaller 273/318 ports. They are .125 thi thick though. DODGE SCE Gaskets 169106 SCE AccuSeal E Intake Gaskets | Summit Racing

 

[73Charger318]

Those show a 2 barrel port.
These are coming up as good for an LA small block, and half as thick. Curious what others have used in their builds.

Print-O-Seal.. Very good gaskets. I needed thin and had some steel shim gaskets. (heads milled and intake surfaced after the fact)

 

[junkyardhero]

the 1213's are close, but not a dead nuts match.

reasonable closeness for my application: 68 318 2bbl heads and an LD4B

great quality gaskets though.

 

[junkyardhero]

for the most part, yes.

however, special attention should be paid to the intake and exhaust ports-- 273 & early 318 are smaller and a mismatch can result in a poor seal or intake leak.

 

[73Charger318]

Thanks for the info. I would love to find that dead nuts match, but they don't seem to be available. I'll just chill till I actually need them and see if I can get lucky. My engine isn't even out of the car yet. Just parts shopping.

summit is really good about listing the port measurements of the gaskets in the specs, so give it a whirl.

i can tell you that you'll need *early* 318 exhaust gaskets, the later stuff is way big and just close enough to let you think that they might just work. they're readily available and inexpensive though (felpro) and mr gasket has some trick copper ones that are a little bit of money.

Those are the ones I like.
