351 Engine Parts Required

Hey Guys

Have currently got our boat, a 1989 351 with 1.23, in the marina for a service and winterisation - they have informed me that I need the following parts:

1 x Exhaust Manifold to Cylinder Head Gasket (Port Side)
1 x Carburettor Overhaul Kit
1 x P-Bracket Cutlass Bearing

Where would anyone recommend I get these parts from because the UK is ridiculously priced for getting parts for nautiques, should I try skidm ?

Also would any of the parts be worth upgrading? Please excuse my ignorance am just going on what the engineer tells me I need.

Cheers

Gareth

Thanks 79nautique - I don't suppose you can tell what carb we have by looking at the picture of my engine on my diaries weblink above? It's just that the marina don't think the carb has a number attached to it ??

then i presume it will be one of these:

Correct- and the number to look at is the LIST number.


Automotive exhaust manifold gaskets for a 302 would be the same as a 351.

don't waste your time on any thing other than a holley renew kit for the carb or it will not perform like it should.
