Lower Intake Gasket

[BraMas]

So it seems that the Lower intake gasket has become one of the rarest gaskets for a 96/98 4V.:shrug: I have been searching for weeks and can't seem to find any. It appears both Fel-pro and Victor Reinz have discontinued them.
Does anyone have any suggestions where to look. I did talk to ModMax and they said they have some on order but he wasn't sure when they would get in.
My lower set has a couple of rips in the rubber looks like I might have to use RTV?
I have tried almost every Major Mustang supplier
Rock Auto
Amazon
eBay
I believe the FEL-PRO # is MS95833

The ones that go between the intake and IMRCs? I have some new ones, $40 shipped.

 

[BraMas]

No I can find those. the ones in between the IMRC's and the head
You might know this or even tried it but can you modify the IMRC/Intake gaskets so they will work as the IMRC/Head gasket

What's wrong with your old gaksets? You can't modify the others to fit.

Aluminum IMRCs correct?

MMR Sells them.

MMR Sells them.

They told me they where out of stock
and my old ones have a couple of small tears in the blue rubber flexible part of the gaskets. I have had the intake off a few times the past couple of years I assume it took it's toll on them
And yes the Aluminum IMRC's

I got mine at Napa a couple months back, used the Felpro part number. Hard plastic gasket, not flimsy type.

 

[BraMas]

does anyone know why the Mark VIII has a different part # for the lower gasket?
If looks like it is just a normal flimsy one unlike the Cobra plastic one
Fel-Pro MS95714.
I believe I found a Cobra gasket. Supplier says it is the last one in the warehouse in the US

I talked to both of them also. Oriellys told me there are none at any of their stores/warehouse and NAPA was the only place that had only 1 in stock and that was in Cali and I'm in MI and I ordered that one
So what did you say to them that both of those place all of a sudden have them in stock? Are you sure they didn't look up the Upper intake gasket because yes everybody does have that one

 

[Tyler72]

The oreillys site said it was available online. Not in the store though. Personally I've never tried ordering online though so I can't really vouch on it.

 

[BraMas]

And when you call them they say there are none.
and what are you seeing that says Oreillys has them. Because when I look it clearly says "out of stock" Is that now what this link clearly says or am I an idiot

Did I mention that I have some composite deletes with new gaskets for sale...

 

[Tyler72]

I just looked again... you are right. It now says out of stock, but when I checked it the other night it said they were available to order...

yes I seen that I'm not ready to go that route yet. :beer:
Did you see my post asking what the difference in MK VIII vs. the Cobra gasket. I see 2 different part #'s but I always assumed the IMRC's where one of the common parts ?
