Where would I get one of these?

I need one right now lol. I was hoping they were just an LS1 gasket or something like that. The trucks come with the rubber one, the Radix uses the flat paper or cork looking type. I'm staring at this Radix and this one item is stopping me from installing it right now.

 

I'm gonna go see if they have sheets of gasket material at Oreilly. I see where people go with the bigger TB and have to make their own gaskets out of this stuff. If this is a bad idea, let me know. I'm going to the store and will check this when I get back before I start. Thanks.

 

I may be off base, but it just looks like a gasket for an 8.1L.

 

I think you might be right. I cut out my own for now. If I call Magnuson to confirm the 8.1 is the correct one, I'll order one in. Well I worked for about 8 hours and barely got anything done. I got the intake pulled and engine top cleaned (it was very dirty). I had to modify the truck intake gaskets to get them to sit on the Radix. I could have traded them for the LS1 gaskets, but they turned out pretty good, and I won't lose one since they're all connected. Then I cut out a custom throttle body gasket. I got the UD pulley off, and didn't have a longer bolt to put the stock one on. I remember someone said they put it in the oven, so I tried that and when I cranked it up to 450*, it finally slid on. Now I was in the process of pinning it when the drill died, so I called it a night. The Procharger pinning kit is a total piece of sh*t. There are no instructions telling how deep to drill so I'm going to have to pull the guide off and check several times so I don't go too far. The bit they give you is like 10 inches long and theres no way in hell to fit it down there without yanking the radiator. So I just used a shorter one I had laying around. It also uses one pin, while most kits use two. If you buy a kit, DON"T BUY THE PROCHARGER ONE. Well, back to work, hopefully I can finish today. All the hard stuff will be done once the pulley is bolted on. I have a 4 foot pipe to help with that. I'll post tonight. If anyone has any questions, let me know.

 

Check the drill bit it may have a ridge built in to stop it when it hits the guide. Manuson's pin kit does have this feature.
