Fel-Pro intake manifold gasket set for Ford small-block V8 260/289/302/351W — complete V8 repair kit, durable sealing

If your engine is being rebuilt, upgraded, or repaired after wear, this Fel-Pro intake manifold gasket set supplies the sealing components designed for common small-block Ford V8s (260/289/302/351W). Fel-Pro builds these gaskets to accommodate imperfect cylinder head and manifold surfaces, using proprietary materials and designs developed and validated by their engineering team to withstand real-world driving and racing stresses.

Which engines and vehicles does this gasket set fit?

This kit is intended for Ford small-block V8 applications including the 260 (4.3L), 289 (4.7L), 302 (5.0L) and 351W (5.8L) family. Always confirm fitment by entering your vehicle details into the vendor’s confirmed-fit tool, and review any fitment notes shown with the part.

• Compatible block families: Ford V8 small-block 260/289/302/351W
• Designed to match common intake manifold flange patterns
• Includes all intake-related gaskets required for standard repairs

How does this set handle imperfect sealing surfaces?

Fel-Pro engineers tailor gasket materials and surface profiles to bridge minor irregularities between the intake manifold and cylinder heads. The kit’s proprietary sealing compounds help maintain contact and compressibility so leaks are minimized under thermal cycles and vibration.

• Materials formulated to conform to uneven flange surfaces
• Compression properties that hold seal under heat and load
• Intended for repair environments rather than factory-perfect surfaces

What’s included and why are complete sets important?

The Fel-Pro 1250 set supplies every gasket and intake sealing component needed for a standard intake manifold service, unless otherwise noted. Using a full kit reduces the chance of missing a small but critical gasket or seal during reassembly, which can prevent leaks and rework.

• Complete intake manifold gaskets for both runner and plenum sealing
• Ancillary seals and any required small-profile gaskets included
• Saves time and ensures matching component compatibility during installation

How has Fel-Pro validated performance and reliability?

Fel-Pro subjects parts to engineering review, lab testing and on-vehicle validation to verify sealing performance under road and racing conditions. Their development process focuses on materials, geometry and real-world durability to reduce failures after installation.

• Engineered and reviewed by Fel-Pro’s development team
• On-vehicle testing replicates typical driving and racing stresses
• Designs incorporate proprietary sealing technologies

Who is this for: The Fel-Pro 1250 intake manifold gasket set is aimed at mechanics, DIY restorers and performance tuners working on classic and late-model Ford small-block V8 engines who need a dependable, complete gasket solution. If you’re performing an intake service, engine rebuild or upgrade on a 260–351W-family motor and want a kit engineered for imperfect sealing surfaces and validated in real use, this set is built for that application. Always verify vehicle fitment before purchase and consult installation guidance for torque and sealing procedures.
