I recommend, use and stock the Victors for heads using traditional sized intake ports. the Fel-Pro low riser passenger car gaskets - MS90145 - will not match the ports at teh lower edge but will still seal up and work well.

The Fel-Pro race gaskets are just that - good for race stuff 'cuz you can trim them to fit various ports, but short lived in street use. They will stay put longer if you use adhesive to stick them to the head, but they'll still fail eventually. The FE is the only V8 I know of that has the intake flange effectively submerged in oil...

Smile Gaskets

This motor has out of the box Edelbrock heads and intake. Will the Victor Nitroseal part number's 95159SG work for this set up?

Smile intake gasket

thanks for the info

It has rained the last two days. Maybe Friday I can take it out and see if it blow smoke.


Car cruise in Tenn. Friday night and a Car Show in Huntsville, Ala. Saturday.
Everybody pray that it does not rain. Please

Dwight
