Intake Gasket - BBC .060

The FEL-PRO Intake Gasket BBC .060 (MPN: 1306-3) is a precision-engineered composite intake manifold gasket designed specifically for big-block Chevrolet applications. This pair of gaskets features a .060-inch thickness and oval port configuration (1.85 × 2.45 inches), engineered to seal the intake manifold-to-cylinder head interface and maintain compression integrity across both sides of the engine block.

Composite gasket material delivers superior thermal stability and sealing performance compared to traditional cork or rubber designs. The .060-inch thickness provides optimal compression and contact pressure without adding excessive bulk to the intake assembly. For big-block Chevy engines—commonly found in performance applications, marine propulsion systems, and vintage restoration builds—maintaining a tight seal at the intake manifold is critical to preventing vacuum leaks that compromise combustion efficiency and driveability. FEL-PRO gaskets are manufactured to OEM specification tolerances, ensuring direct fitment without modification.

Operators and technicians restoring or maintaining BBC-powered vehicles—whether street engines, truck applications, or specialized builds—depend on reliable gasket sealing to prevent coolant and oil contamination at the manifold interface. This gasket set is suitable for stock, modified, and high-performance big-block Chevy builds where intake manifold removal or gasket replacement is required during maintenance, rebuilds, or component upgrades.

Big-block Chevrolet engines remain a workhorse platform in automotive, marine, and industrial applications. Maintaining factory-specification gaskets ensures long-term reliability and prevents secondary damage from manifold leaks that can affect engine cooling and combustion parameters over time.
