Why do that when the Delphi kit is cheaper?

I found the Delphi kit for 331 on Amazon with no gaskets, this claims to have everything for the install...

Right now, as far as I can tell, the AC Delco is 285 on Amazon, Delphi is 335, no gaskets or anything

what gaskets does it come with?

the felpro Gaskets was a step up from the stock ones, much better long lasting quality.

X2 and cheap. I'd go with quality parts and not worried about it. All u need is the upper intake gasket.

Are Delphi and ad delco not the same thing?

Not the same but both used by gm. I used a Delphi in my truck because it was cheaper at the time.

Maybe, maybe not. AC Delco is GM's brand made by approved vendors for parts. Delphi is a company that may have made those parts originally as a part of GM, or after. If Delphi makes it, they likely made the original. A current AC Delco part could be made by anyone GM choses. Delphi closed a lot of plants when they went bankrupt, so some stuff now comes from China or Mexico. When I bought my Delphi radiator on Amazon, it was basically a dealer part, made in the US, but sold at a low price through Amazon. The plant that made it, in NY, went back to GM, as part of the bankrupcy restructuring, I believe.

So in short, I typically by Delphi or AC Delco, but with the understanding that it's possibly that neither are exactly like what my truck was originally built with. I beleive both to be high quality in most cases. I did pass on the new made in China Delphi heater fan/blower, However. I bought a Canadian made one off of Amazon...... can't recall the brand, Though.

the Delphi and the AC Delco MPFI Look different, whats different apart from the color and 50 bucks is beyond me. I asked it a while back when I did mine, but no one knew....

Well I did the math tonight, and I need three checks to afford either the minimal, or the whole shebang with cap rotor, wires, plugs, and t-stat "while I'm at it"

So I guess I'll do the whole thing, and throw the lower intake in the bead blaster too lol

I haven't been able to figure out the difference either... I guess I'll just go with Delphi
