felpro intake gaskets

[#2875]

i am doing a vortec head swap and none of the auto parts stores around here can cross reference part # 1203. i got them to pull a gasket for a 97 s10 4.3 and it looks like the right one with the plastic except the sealing rubber is red not blue; the part # is 95817. will this work?

That gasket for the 97 won't work. The 1203 also isnt made of plastic. The gasket you where looking at has a different bolt pattern for the vortec intake that comes on the standard S10's. The gasket you need is the 1203.

???... from what i have seen and read on this site the 1203 is made of plastic and rubber and has the vortec bolt pattern which is why people drill them out. the intake gasket i saw looked like the posted pics of the 1203s except the rubber is red. personally i think it is the same gasket with an autozone #.

the 1203 does not have any plastic on it it has the stock syty bolt pattern . you are looking at stock vortek gaskets .
