I already have the adapter rings/sleeves for the intake I am just not sure if I should get a set of 235 gaskets or 216 gaskets.
Thanks,

Because I don't want to deal with the exhaust issue with the 235 setup and I want to use the horn mount that the 216 has. I eventually want to put fenton exhaust and a different intake but this will get me back on the road. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | I used the 235 gasket on my 235 with 216 manifold.
I didn't use any sleeves
If you need the gasket for the heat riser (between intake/exhaust)you will need the 216 gasket.
Good luck | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 90 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 90 | so the sleeves were not necessary?

You can use 235 gaskets but you need to be careful to line them up with the ports exactly, or you could have leaks do to there larger openings.

I don't know if they are necessary. When I removed the manifold it didn't have any rings So I put it back together with out them. Later I found out here in the forum that step-down rings are available. Also learned here that pre 54 235 manifolds will have the bracket for the horn If I had the step down rings I would of used them Good luck | | |
