Curtis,
Thanks for the response but it does not address the question that
Jon and I have asked. That question is how to get the 215 valley
cover/manifold gasket to match the intake ports on the 300 heads when they
are mounted on the aluminum block??? I haven't checked this fit myself,
but Jon apparently has. Nothing I have ever seen written about the use of
these heads addresses this problem. Is there actually a problem?? If so,
what does one do about it?? Would love to hear the details.
Cheers,
Dave Kernberger
