Does anybody know of a parts house that carries these. The only place I can find them is at the stealership and they want $112 for them. $112 for freaking valve cover gaskets!!! Last time I did valve cover gaskets on my F250 I think I paid $6 for both of them.

Thanks,
Hunter
 
The complete kit with orings and seals are 56.91 each side and 42.68 your cost. Just the gaskets are 33.83 each and cost you 25.37. I do not carry just the gaskets......if you are gonna pull the covers might as well change the seals as well. The F-250 has no o-rings. And you cannot compare the flat gaskets with the new style rubber seal type gaskets.

Awesome! Will keep this in mind if replacing the 8 COPs doesn't solve my misfire problem.
 
Thanks mrzeee. I actually already bought 'em from my local Ford dealer, sorry...but I really appreciate the offer.

And, I know you can't compare the old gaskets with the new seals, but c'mon man!!! The 351 in my F250 has over 200K on it, and I didn't replace the vcg's on it until 180K. The truck still pulls a heavy trailer like it thinks its a diesel! Meanwhile, the LS goes through a set every 40K, at $120 each time. That doesn't even include any coils that the leak may have destroyed. Not to mention I now get to spend the rest of the day outside replacing them, and it is colddddddd here in Kansas.:D None of this is directed toward you mrzeee. I'm just really frustrated with FoMoCo today.

Thanks again,
Hunter
 
Mine lasted 75K and I got new new ones from Max. The LS is a little complex for 6$ anything.
 
off topic, but is your 71 mustang a Boss 351? or you just have a standard 351 Windsor sitting in it? Just curious...

Unfortunately its just a standard 351W. I have done some work to it to make it a screamer of a windsor though. The car is not a Boss, it has the Mach I aperance package, but I got chrome bumpers because I dont like the fiberglass ones.
