I have in the past cut my own paper gaskets from extra thin material because the ones provided were too thick, but that was with iron heads and an aluminum manifold.

The intention of the supplementary fiber gaskets were specifically for aluminum intake manifolds ... having potential out-of-flatness. They originated with the factory 1969 aluminum 440-6 intakes. They can be used with any manifold... cast iron or aluminum... but always best to use with any aluminum intake as they do tend to flex and can have some corrosion, as well as out-of-flatness in due time.

Have you looked into the Super performance gaskets. I believe they come in that size
71 demon stock stroke 440/indy ez-1 running 10.10 @ 132.14 mph in the 1/4 and 6.36 @ 107.46 mph in the 1/8 not in the same weekend but It did it then I sold it. 67 Belvedere that worked it's way in the 10's

Try contacting SCE gaskets, I think I had them make me some of the .015 440 style intake gaskets years ago, I have two pair left now They use to make them in .015,.030, .060, .090 and .120 thick. The company has been bought and sold several times since them and moved their headquarters and manufacturing plant several times also

I like to use at least one paper gasket per bank, even with iron heads, and I will have the intake cut so I don't have to butcher a perfectly good intake by filing the bolt holes.
When you were able to get a feeler blade in was this with a gasket or no gasket ... if a gasket which the paper or the valley pan and has the valley pan embossing already been crushed, It's a little confusing?
running up my post count some more .

It's a new valley pan, not crushed. I checked with the feeler gauge with just the intake, no pan or gaskets. If using only one gasket, which side of the valley pan?

I will have the intake cut so I don't have to butcher a perfectly good intake by filing the bolt holes. This makes absolutely NO sense !!! Once and intake is cut its no longer guaranteed to fit any other motor. On the other hand, elongating the bolt holes leaves the important dimensions intact.
