RE: Are Intake Manifold Gaskets Required on a 440?

Yes use gaskets!

I have a high performance 413 bored with roller cam, etc.

The fabricator of the engine used some type of sealant as a gasket Ming substitute. After about 10,000 miles all sorts of leaked developed. Killed all the vacuum and diminished the power breaking capacity.

Took it apart, cleaned to goo that was used, used a good gasket and it made all the difference in better performance. Especially the ability to sync the dual carbs. Runs way better.

My 361 Engine Builder told me the same thing, then I developed a vacuum leaks in the car ran terrible, it’s worth the $8 insurance, I had to disassemble my intake and put in gaskets

I could see the vacuum leaks with black streaks on some of the poorly machined Surfaces

I'm getting to reassemble my 440 engine for my '62 Sport Fury, it's not a high performance engine or anything. A buddy of mine who has assembled several 440 engines stated that I don't need the intake manifold gaskets, they are 'nice to have' since the valley pan gasket suffices, and he's run several engines without them with no problem.

I'm a little doubtful of this claim, but wanted to get your thoughts? Anyone else have a similar viewpoint?

Thanks much - Wade
