I have a new RPM Air Gap genuine Edelbrock
I just finished my first attemp at gasket matching
What do you think?



How much help will this be. I removed a stock LD4B

I would carry the work in farther, about 1"-2" for
a gasket match(blend it in)... usually it does very
little but it sure wont hurt either... I do it to
all my intakes but I port the whole thing... I am
assuming the gasket fit the head nicely

Thanks Mr P, The heads were already done and match nice. I'll work on the manifold a little more before installation. I'd like to pick up a little more then build a stroker maybe for next season.

Looks a little rough. You can use a scribe and ruler to get some neat straight lines, and then use a sanding roll to just touch it up. It'll come out very nice, and a little easier to control than a carbide.
