Intake Gasket Set - SBF

The Intake Gasket Set - SBF by Edelbrock (MPN 7220) is a purpose-built sealing solution for small block Ford engine builders and restoration enthusiasts who demand reliability in their intake manifold assembly. This composite gasket kit addresses one of the most common leak points in classic and modified SBF applications—the interface between the intake manifold and cylinder head. Whether you're rebuilding a stock 289, 302, or 351W or installing an upgraded manifold on a performance platform, this gasket set prevents vacuum leaks, oil seepage, and coolant loss that compromise engine efficiency and create persistent driveability issues.

Each gasket in this set features a composite construction rated for 0.06 inches of thickness, engineered to maintain a consistent seal under thermal cycling and cylinder pressure loads typical of small block Ford engines. The rectangular port design (1.2 x 2 inches) is optimized for stock and mild-performance intake manifolds common to the SBF family, ensuring full port coverage without compression losses or bypass paths. Composite material offers superior conformability to casting surfaces compared to older cork designs, reducing the likelihood of leak-back after torquing and accommodating minor surface imperfections inherent in vintage and aftermarket aluminum castings.

Mechanics and engine builders favor this kit for both stock restorations and modified small block Ford applications, from street engines to weekend track cars. Installation requires standard intake removal and surface preparation—cleaning old gasket residue with a soft scraper and ensuring dry, smooth mating surfaces before assembly. This complete kit eliminates the frustration of sourcing individual gaskets and guarantees all ports are sealed with matched, factory-specification components, making it the economical choice for professional shops and dedicated enthusiasts alike.
