So I had some free time and I figured I would go and clean that throtle body thats been sticking every now and then so I pulled it off and found this...

but wait...

The bottom of the gasket which surrounds the completly pointless coolant passages is completly wasted its almost flat. Never the less I put it back on there and tightend it up but it leaks...

so now I could go to autozone and get this
4

But its $42 bucks and I don't need the whole kit... if I were to buy the whole uim it would be $ 130

Or I could do this from zzp

for $100

and then this

for another $80

and might as well do this at the same time

but idk wtf I'm going to do I think Im just going to autozone for the gasket for now but wait its 6pm and the bank is closed fml lol
 


Common part thread had the gasket part number from Felpro. Parts pups should be able to get it for ya for $6 today.
 


arbogast is the dealer around here was one of the top 10 pontiac dealers in the country

and a bigger cam? I already got a gt1 cam
 
I want the l26 uim but I got a hv3 for this one and I don't think it will fit right with the other one and I want to do a wire tuck and I think its harder to put holes in the L26 lol

I know... but I think the Uim looks better painted now and if I'm going to paint it wats the point in the metal one... plus the adapter plate is $100 so for the upper intake and the adaptor plate thats about 180 right there idk...

But hey could I put a northstar on a l36?
