L26 UIM gasket?

I will be doing the L26 intake manifold swap soon. I can find the lower gasket all day. What unicorn do I need to speak with to find the upper gasket? The vendors only seem to carry the lower. And Autozone doesn't carry it either. Help

I honestly don't know why I didn't search for plenum. LOL after multiple trips in years past getting a S/C gasket. That's what I had to ask for at the parts store. You would think I would have remembered. :th_laugh-lol3:
 
I'm not sure if this is the thread to ask, or if someone can point me in the right direction... but... I am looking at swapping my defective (leaking/warped) L36 upper IM for a better one. Is there a benefit in going to an L26 upper, and/or is it more costly, than just doing the $130 Dorman? Less costly? Does it require more work/parts?

Please help if you can. I've been trying to figure out the best route to take, and the car is down, and need it back up ASAP.

I'm also thinking of doing the Lower IM Gaskets at the same time, and possible the HV3.

Thank you in advance. (FYI, if you didn't figure it out, I have a '99 3.8 GT)

Edit: I can get an L26 upper IM for $50 at the junk yard. Base on that, please.
