Are you looking for the cam cover that bolts down in the valley ?

If so, 25 plus shipping

What intake do you have? 

Most of the aftermarket intake manifolds don't require the valley pan type intake gasket, but recommend using the soft/composite gaskets and RTV for the ends.

You need to clean up the manifold , and the. Set it on the block and heads and look at the gaps!!! See if there even! Something maybe wrong with the intake manifold.

I have never had any luck using the original "turkey tray" pan. Also, every single one I have taken apart shows evidence of leaking at some time...
With that said, I recommend felpro 1356 intake gaskets.
Smear the head side with some gasketcinch as well as the actual intake.

...your sealing problems will be solved.
