Detailed Description

Fel-Pro 60987 is engineered for exhaust flange sealing where the manifold meets the front pipe. The gasket dimensions are sized for the listed application, with a 2.270-inch inside diameter, 2.755-inch outside diameter, and 0.554-inch thickness to support a proper sealing surface. Fel-Pro’s sealing approach focuses on vehicle-specific fit and durable materials, which is important when servicing older Ford exhaust systems such as the F-100, F-150, F-250, and F-350.

This part cross-references MAHLE F7199 and interchange part number 635543 for the same application. If you are replacing a leaking exhaust flange gasket on a Ford F-100, Ford F-250, or Ford F-350, Fel-Pro 60987 provides a premium sealing option for the manifold-to-front-pipe connection.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Exhaust leak at the manifold-to-front-pipe joint
• Ticking or puffing noise from a failed flange seal
• Exhaust odor entering the cabin area
• Loss of sealing integrity after gasket wear or heat cycling
• Service replacement during exhaust manifold or front pipe repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and exhaust connection before installation. This gasket is listed for the manifold to front pipe position on 1965-1976 Ford F-100, 1975-1976 Ford F-150, 1965-1976 Ford F-250, and 1965-1976 Ford F-350. Inspect the flange surfaces for warping, corrosion, or carbon buildup before assembly so the new gasket can seat correctly.

For best results, clean both mating surfaces thoroughly and confirm the gasket orientation matches the exhaust connection being serviced. Use the part number 60987 to confirm the correct application during ordering and installation.
