What gaskets are you looking for? Header to head? You can get them at Canadian Tire, I just bought a set last month $25, or you can get them at the dealer, just tell them you need exhaust manifold gaskets.

No, they're the same and Canadian Tire "doesn't list them" otherwise. The best bet is to get them from a speed shop, but I did my install on Sunday and the only place open was CTC and PartSource, I had to go there for header bolts because CTC "doesn't list them" either.

well taht is weird. when i was 15-16 i put headers on my 1965 truck, which had a 1977 5.0. i went to a parts store (eagle automotive in red deer) and asked for a set of exhaust manifold gaskets. i got them, went home, and my moms boy freind at the time (who was a machanic(sp?)) said what the hell are those. i said they are the gaskets you told me to get. he siad they wont fit, and showed me how they would not fit, and i said . so we when and got some header gaskets and wala!

was he on crack, or am i imagining ?
