Hmmm, very similar to my issue. I have switched back to the Edelbrock 600 and put on some steel gaskets and put it back together. I dropped the cam lube and am running Valvoline VR1 20w50, as it gets hot in my parts anyways to justify 20w50.
100 miles so far on repair effort. Oil is still full and the car is running strong. I dod notice a small crack on the bottom of the intake gasket on the passenger side when I was changing out the paper ones. There was a very small brown area in the corresponding port of the intake. I am will to bet this could be the issue. I will report back.
