If it helps, I can get you the full engine gasket set for the Poly at $109
(vs. his $150) in Fel-Pro or Victor. Add nominal shpg. or in some cases I
can save all shpg. charges for you.
Let me know if I can help any of our Mail Lists members save money on
quality gaskets.
Thank you,
Gary P.

gaskets from this vendor. I have been having trouble getting them in a timely
fashion here lately. I wanted to check this guy out. The prices aren't
cheap but if he has something you can't get elsewhere then it's
valuable.

I hope that this isn't too much information,
so I will start with the summary.
That way you can just stop when you've had enough.
For the 1959-65 Dodge/Plymouth Poly 318 V8
we can supply the;
Overhaul (Full) gasket set for around $150
Head gaskets for around $37.50 each
Valve cover set for around $16.50
Oil pan set for around $12
Intake manifold set for around $15
Exhaust manifold set for around $15
Timing cover set for around $19
Rear main seal set for around $20
&
Water outlet gasket for 64 cents
plus a few other individual gaskets
The exact price depends on the brand that we
have at the time of the order
and which brand or type of gasket the customer selects. In the
details that
follow you will see that some of the prices can be much lower than the ones
above.
We also carry gaskets for many other older
Chrysler Corp. engines including
the 251 Cu.In. flat head six and the 218/230 flat head six and have access
to
even older Mopar applications through one of our suppliers. Water
pumps too.
The difference between us and other suppliers to the collector car market
is our
competitive prices.
We buy manufacturer direct and stock a full
line of gaskets from Best, DC,
Detroit, DNJ, Magnum, and ROL.
Best is all made in USA and we can get
anything they make within 3 bus-
iness days. Best specializes in gaskets for American made collector
cars. They
have just had a price increase, so the prices quoted below may be a little
higher
than what we charged you.
DC is a full line manufacturer based in
Mexico. They control about 40% of the
Mexican gasket aftermarket.
Detroit was originally an American company,
but has had several corporate
owners over the past twenty years. Now owned by DC, they were owned
by
Corteco before that. Some people refer to these as Corteco brand
gaskets.
ROL was originally a Canadian company with a
broad product line, but is
now also owned by DC.
ROL and Detroit gaskets are no longer in
production, but DC has a vast in-
ventory of these products. Most items will still be available for
years.
All items in the DC, Detroit, and ROL lines
are shipped to us directly from
the factory in central Mexico. They only accept stock orders (no
special orders)
and the minimum order is several thousand dollars. The ship to us
approximately
30 days after we place the order and it takes two to three weeks more to
get here.
If we don't have it, we just can't sell it. We are continuing to
build onto our inven-
tory of these lines.
DNJ just serves the late model repair
aftermarket. Their gaskets mostly are
made in Taiwan.
Magnum is a new company to the aftermarket,
but was previously a supplier
to Fel-Pro. The have little or nothing for the collector car
market. Nearly all of
their gaskets are made in USA and are premium quality.
We ocassionally have a chance to buy a
surplus or "distressed" inventory
of gaskets and may, from time to time, have in stock any brand you have
ever
heard of and some you haven't. We sell what we have until they are
gone,
then try to replace them with a brand that we have access to.
