Okay, I am building a 5.0 with Edelbrock Performer heads, 170cc.

The engine kit I bought had standard intake gaskets, and the port openings are too small.
I knew I was going to end up buying better gaskets than some of those in the kit.
I have already got my one piece pan gasket, and now I need to order up a set of intake gaskets.
At least the header gaskets in the kit are a perfect match for the E'brock ports...

What are the best intake gaskets in your experience that should have larger ports available.

Thanks!
Dave

I run those exact heads and I use the Fel-Pro 1262 intake gaskets
