For replacing the UIM and LIM gaskets on a supercharged 3800 (L67)??

I think I have a good list but I just want to double check on it..

Going with the fel-pro metal ones but yea wanna make sure what im looking at matches what im supposed to get.

Thanks..

 

Here is the lower intake gasket kit:

Includes both a paper and rubber T-stat gasket (I would use whatever style the car had, not both).
Here is the upper gasket set:

The Dorman aluminum coolant elbows you should be able to get at any local store (look in the Dorman HELP! area of the store). Many have used the aluminum ones successfully. If not aluminum, I recommend replacing with genuine GM plastic (Dorman had an issue that affected me with a bad run on the plastic elbows years ago, as a result, I won't tough those again).

Here is an upgraded water pump (Series III with the aluminum impeller, I have one on my Monte):

Also, may be a good time to replace your valve cover gaskets if they are leaking:

I think that is the essentials.

 

Thanks a lot..

 

Whats the chance that the entire lower intake manifold will need to be replaced?? Saw a video where this was the case and it kinda got me paranoid.. Wont be able to get anywhere once I start taking the car apart..

 

I would think pretty low if you didn't run the car into overheating range for an extended period of time.

 

I used the doorman aluminum elbows... worked great... I also did my valve cover gaskets.....very easy to do with all the top end outta the way

 

while all that's apart the plugs are right there to get to nice and ez fyi

 

I agree with Chibi about the lower intake. And *if* it does, if you have a junk yard around, should be pretty easy to get your hands on another.

 

So im about to put all this back together and I forgot to get the coolant elbows.. There was an issue that I was confused about what they were called when I was looking on the computer with the guy at the parts store.. What exactly are they called.. His computer brings up something like heater host 90* connectors.. The "heater hose" part is what got me but thats what theyre called right??

 

Yep. Heater hose 90 degree elbows it is
