Difference Between Intake Gaskets 65 /67 BB

[Keith B.]

I recently was asked if there were a difference in the intake gasket sets (part numbers) of a 1965 396 and a 1967 435 h.p. I remember my 396 had numbers on the gasket you could read (pretty much in the middle of the manifold but don't have the car any longer to go and look to see what the numbers were). Could someone please post the part numbers for both or if they are the same a picture would be helpful. I remember seeing sets on ebay that had a bunch of gaskets even the exhaust donuts. Can the numbers be read on a 435 manifold like on the 396? I haven't had much exposure to the 435. Any help would be appreciated.

Keith -- here's a pic of one of the two sets I have (circa 1968, 69). IIRC, didn't you have a silver '66 L36. ? Set shown contains all the small parts shown on the menu. I believe there was a different part # for the 396, but only because the metal head gasket was for the smaller cylinder bore. I could dig this # out from the period P&A30 catalogs, if you need it.

Thanks for the picture. I had a black 396 coupe previously but it now has a new home.
