Stock port 915 heads.
Mani port = 1.275" High
head port...tough to get verniers in there accurately, but around 1.100" or so. Non-ported.
i assume the head surface is in good condition and not a bumpy from heavy rust ? i have a set of 906's i deemed junk because of this very thing

Just wanted to close this thread out. Installed a different manifold, and I opted to go with Fel-Pro Gasket, Dry. Noise is gone. I still have a slight, small leak at the headpipe, but as I said, I found a small hole in the weld at the headpipe flange. The "noise" is 90-95% gone, thus I can start worrying about something else now. Thanks to everyone who chimed in.

One additional note... Yeah, that was exhaust noises, and the manifolds are about 50/50 as to whether they seal or not. I use the fel pro stock ones, and most importantly regardless of manifold or header, or gasket type, you need to torque them fromt eh center two out. Never the ends in, or from one end to the other. If the manifold is a little warped, tightening from the center may help pull it flat.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
