Ford Small Block 62-89 260-289-302 & 351W

The Ford Small Block 62-89 260-289-302 & 351W intake manifold gasket from FEL-PRO is an essential engine seal designed for serious restoration and performance work on classic Ford V8 platforms. Whether you're rebuilding a muscle car, maintaining a vintage truck, or upgrading an older hot rod, this gasket prevents coolant and intake charge leakage between the cylinder heads and intake manifold—a critical failure point that costs power and reliability.

Mechanics and enthusiasts trust FEL-PRO for OEM-grade sealing solutions that restore proper engine function without requiring exotic aftermarket materials. FEL-PRO's gasket engineering uses multi-layer composite construction to handle the thermal cycling and pressure loads inherent to small-block Ford operation. The gasket compresses and conforms to mounting surface irregularities—a key advantage over solid cork or rubber alternatives that crack and leak over time.

Its precise thickness and material composition maintain optimal sealing force across the entire manifold bore without over-clamping fasteners, which prevents warping or cracking on classic aluminum or cast-iron manifolds. This gasket is the go-to choice for owners of 260, 289, 302, and 351W small-block Fords manufactured from 1962 through 1989. It fits both carbureted and fuel-injected intake manifold configurations on street engines, ensuring reliable performance.
