Richard:
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 $150Head gaskets for around $37.50 eachValve cover set for around $16.50Oil pan set for around $12Intake manifold set for around $15Exhaust manifold set for around $15Timing cover set for around $19Rear main seal set for around $20&Water outlet gasket for 64 centsplus a few other individual gasketsThe exact price depends on the brand that we have at the time of the orderand which brand or type of gasket the customer selects. In the details thatfollow you will see that some of the prices can be much lower than the onesabove.We also carry gaskets for many other older Chrysler Corp. engines includingthe 251 Cu.In. flat head six and the 218/230 flat head six and have access toeven older Mopar applications through one of our suppliers. Water pumps too.The difference between us and other suppliers to the collector car market is ourcompetitive 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. Theyhave just had a price increase, so the prices quoted below may be a little higherthan what we charged you.DC is a full line manufacturer based in Mexico. They control about 40% of theMexican gasket aftermarket.Detroit was originally an American company, but has had several corporateowners over the past twenty years. Now owned by DC, they were owned byCorteco before that. Some people refer to these as Corteco brand gaskets.ROL was originally a Canadian company with a broad product line, but isnow 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 fromthe factory in central Mexico. They only accept stock orders (no special orders)and the minimum order is several thousand dollars. The ship to us approximately30 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 aremade in Taiwan.Magnum is a new company to the aftermarket, but was previously a supplierto Fel-Pro. The have little or nothing for the collector car market. Nearly all oftheir gaskets are made in USA and are premium quality.We ocassionally have a chance to buy a surplus or "distressed" inventoryof gaskets and may, from time to time, have in stock any brand you have everheard 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.Here is the detailed breakdown of the gaskets that we have or have accessto for the Poly 318:Overhaul (full) setavailable in BEST and DCin stock: Best, qty. 1, $150not in stock: DC, available in March 2014, $122Head Setin stock: Fel-Pro $150.
