Stupid intake question

You need to use the "composite" gaskets which are thicker so that won't help. In my experience aftermarket intakes always sit "high" so when my Performer RPM didn't line up on my engine (slightly milled Edelbrock LA heads on Magnum block) I just had the intake milled by my local machine shop. If I ever go to put it on another engine and it sits too low (highly doubtful) I'll just get creative with the gaskets. I can't remember how much was milled off the intake but it was just enough to where I could get the intake bolts in (it still sits slightly "high").
