Intake Manifold Gasket

[Ed Valvo]

I have a valley pan type Felpro 96033. Does anyone make an intake gasket with larger ports? Can I grind on the metal gasket to open it up a bit? I'm trying to match port the intake manifold and heads but the ports do not line up as well as I'd like. They're slightly larger in some areas and I am trying to avoid the gasket hanging inside the port. That's what I get for getting some used heads..... TIA.

I've used both gasket types and can't remember if the 1200' s are any larger, but I don't believe they are. your best bet would be to place them, mark them and use the grinder. just try not to distort them.
