Where is a good place to purchase a new 360 Valley Pan. I had seen them on ebay once, but missed it.

most of your parts stores can get them, they list them as intake gaskets and not valley pans 80% of the time

Man MC you do know it all!! I can't tell you how many hours I have spent search the web for that thing!!
Thanks!

Personally, I don't care for the valley pan intake gasket. I use Mr. Gasket part # G800. It's a fiber gasket and I've never had a problem with them sealing, unlike the valley pan gasket.

I dont like the valley pan gaskets either :-|

OK, so what if one takes the valley pan gasket, cuts on the middle part and just uses the sides to seal up the intake manifold? :-|

You pay $35 for a gasket to cut on when Mr Gasket #G800 cost $10-$12

#-o Ahh, gotcha. So what is the bomus of having the valley pan? Does it help to move oil to the back of the engine?

reflects heat away from the bottom of the intake manifold

I had to cut the center out of mine any ways to clear the baffle on the bottom of the intake. If I would have known that I would have just got the Mr. Gasket ones.
