BWR Raised Port Cylinder Heads- what intake gasket??

[The Motor Pool]

Hello everyone. I got a question about a set of BWR cylinder heads I have going on a 409 stroked out to a 476. I sent the heads out to the port shop and order a set of edelbrock 7240 intake manifold gaskets to have shipped there without thinking about the raised ports. So the bolt holes on the gaskets I ordered don't fit of course. My question is what intake gaskets can I run on the raised port BWR 409 heads?

I make my own.

That was what I was figuring too. Unfortunally the heads are 3hrs away right now and the port shop needs an intake gasket to flow bench the heads. Would be nice to just order a set to mail out to them

The stock intake gasket was used and shifted upwards for a template. Ultimately you will have to make your own gasket.

Most guys I know don't worry about the small amount of leakage on the flow bench with no gasket. % of total flow if the surfaces are flat will be pretty small.
