Just picked up a 302 GMC. Where is the best place to get gaskets. Who are the best suppliers?

The best gaskets I have found are BEST GASKETS. They are new and have not spent several decades drying on a shelf. The are made with modern materials. The rear seal comes with a tools to help trim it properly. The valve cover gasket if thicker than any I have ever seen. Patrick''s sells them and maybe some others. Check the 12 Port advertisers in the list on the left of the page. Are you going to race it at Bonneville? Welcome to the site!

Thanks ! I have raced at Bonneville but not an inline. I raced a 235 in an old stock car at Loring, Maine, and went 116. I just got the 302 and I'm very excited. It looks good and I think I can make it run.

I go to Bonneville but have never raced there and probably wont. When I get my roadster on the road I want to replace the 270 in my pickup with a supercharged 302. Keep us posted on your progress.

The head is cracked. Didn't see it until I got all the rust off. Back to the drawing board. I'll keep working on the new 235 while looking for new parts for the 302. Now I need a head and a flywheel.

That too bad. frown You'll be able to find another one and probably for a decent price if you have a little time.
