Which Gasket kit to buy for 302 about to get a set of gt-40's and cobra intake? I was looking at summit part # FEL-KS2337 Link .
Should i pick up a whole kit or buy each gasket i need individually? Thanks for the help guys.

Are you goin to change the cam at the same time too?...If not you won't need the timming cover and water pump gaskets

I would just buy the gaskets individually...I'd get some high quality head gasket, intake gaskets and some cork valve cover gaskets...

Make sure that the Cobra intake you're buying has the plenum upper to lower intake gasket, or you'll have to buy one of those too...

Im going to change the cam..so the kit that i linked will have everything i need right? Are the felpro gaskets in the kit not good enough for my use? The only addition that i might add to the car is a small nitrous shot.

Do not use cork gaskets. Too many times I have seen oil pumps seize because of the little metal button cork gaskets use. They fall into the motor and manage to find a way into the oil pump. Spend the $20-$30 for reusable metal gaskets.
