Problem finding parts, need help/advice

I usually find what I'm looking for with the search option. No luck this time.
I could use some help ASAP.
I'm looking for the gaskets for the EGR, Throttle Body and Upper Intake Manifold to Lower Intake Manifold. Problem is what all the parts stores and dealers have are wrong for my truck.
The gasket they have for upper to lower intake manifold is an open rectangle without the center column mine needs. The EGR gasket they have has 2 holes, mine has one. The Throttle Body gasket ID holes are way too small. Below are pictures of my parts. Any help would be appreciated.
My Truck.
1992 F-250 extended cab, 7.5l (460), 4x4, E40D, A/C totally stock.


All the parts suppliers and Ford dealer have gaskets without center divider.


The gasket they have has 2 holes for EGR


Their gasket holes are a good 1/4" undersized.


Lower intake mating surface.


This is what they are saying I need, both Ford dealer and local parts stores.

If anyone could get me the correct part number or let me know what I can do to find the right part your help would be appreciated. Where I live my best access to parts is Napa and O'Riely (sp?), the Dealer is a 90+ miles drive.

Thanks,
Bill

Lower gasket E7TZ-9H486-A
Upper gasket E7TZ-9E936-C
The other part you're looking at is the IAC, not the EGR
The gasket for it is E7SZ-9F670-A

BTW the center divider on the lower gasket is not nessecary, and the upper gasket should match the throttle body, not the intake.

Thanks, but the IAC is fine and was removed, cleaned, tested and reinstalled with a new gasket I already had from the work I did on my Bronco.
Upper Intake R.H. Side picture shows the single hole where the EGR (I could be wrong re EGR) is mounted. That's the other gasket I need.
I'll look up the gaskets you gave me the numbers for. Is that OEM or another brand part number?
Thanks,
Bill

Thank you, will head out and get those today. Having withdrawals from my truck being down.

BTW, why do the upper and lower have the separator if they don't need it? I'm guessing originally they had it not crossover for a reason.

i am new to the forum and have found a TON of great info here for my '92 351w F250 4x4 ZF5 manual tranny. I just scooped this truck up not too long ago and there were "extra parts" that came with the truck when i bought it.

I have been doing a bunch of research to start a 351w build. Im looking for the best hp and torque performance upgrades for my truck.

I am getting ready to purchase pacesetter shorty headers (not sure if the long tubes are better for what im looking for / if they will fit?) and doing a custom true dual exhaust system (pacesetter headers to an H-pipe for better torque 0-4500rpms and then top it off with 2 flowmaster 40 series mufflers and tailpipes that 45 out the sides after the rear axle).

I want to upgrade the intake upper & lower, heads, & cam. When i bought my truck, it came with some extra intake upper and lowers. I didnt know exactly what lower i had so I looked up the casting number on the intake lower (rfe8te9k461bb) and it looks like its off a 7.5L? MY biggest question is, will this lower work on my 351w or should i not worry about it and sell it? What kind of gains can i expect from this lower if applicable? I have an upper but not sure what its off of or if its the best upper for my build.

I have been researching heads and really like the GT40 heads. I still am researching to see what is the best cam setup for what im looking for out of my 351.

Does anyone have any insight/advice for my build? Sorry to hi-jack this thread but since im new i cant create a new post and i couldnt find anywhere in the forum that someone put the rfe8te9k461bb lower on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

When you click into a topic section such as this section and not in a thread, on the top left hand side, there is a button that allows you to start a new topic, when you are in a thread, it says post reply.
