Hello everyone,
I have hit a wall at installing the valley pan in my 351C. I don't know the order on which I need to do this installation.
-Paper gaskets on heads and then the valley pan? or
-Valley pan on heads and then the paper gaskets between the valley pan and Intake manifold?
I've got an edelbrock performer: EDL-2665
I got Fel pro Valley pan: FEL-MS96012 (paper gaskets for the sides and rubber for the front and back)
Please help!!!!
Thanks

 

anyone please?... thanks!

 

I put one under an Edelbrock intake and I used a new intake to heads gasket. I cut off the part of the old valley pan that was against the heads, and just left the two ends there to hold it in place. I just used a lot of sealer on the ends, no rubber. Then I used two new individual head to intake gaskets.

Do a search here and you will find a lot of good info about this. Search for turkey pan and bath tub too.

Thanks, it appears that most people prefer to do that, since I've run into a couple of posts explaining the same thing you did.
Problem is I already got the valley pan gasket kit and getting a head to intake gasket that'll do what you described will take me forever, because I live overseas, and there are no parts for clevelands.
That's the reason why I wanted to install it the way it's meant to be.
No luck finding any other info regarding this installation.

 

many just use the pan and rtv on the ends...I just did. no intake gasket other than that.
