You wont get a TB gasket etc i'd have thought.

Headgasket,inlet,exhaust,steam seals etc.
Anything you'd have to remove to take the head off.

Cant see it tbh.
You dont need to remove the throttle body to swap the head do you??

yes, as there a small hole in the inlet which runs thru the mount, which bolts onto the TB and theres all gaskets on there lol

its like a little maze lol

just slightly on-topic. Ive been trying to get an inlet gasket for the upper inlet join (mines a Mantzel) & GM want ?31 for a paper gasket. I enquired at a local factors & they cant do them. Only option was for a full headset apparently.

Cut your own from gasket paper. Available from factors as you no doubt know.

I will be.

Get on Ebay and search for Gaskets For Classics shop.
They sold me all my gaskets for my 1400, patern parts, but as good as GM imo.

Email them with the gasket type you need.

I just told them i wanted a throttle body to inlet gasket.
And then replied with pics of the gaskets they do.

So i picked the correct one.
