When I had the block honed to get ready for the year at MPG cylinder head, we were talking about all the intake gaskets I had to stack to get the intake to line up with the head ports. I was using 4 sets that are .060 each thick and twenty something bucks each set fron Indy. This .240 was still a little short, so they made some plastic spacers that are .260 thick and lined everything up perfect. The block is 10.72, and I had to slot the intake bolt holes quite a bit, but I think it was worth it.

Another. I used the long skinny screws to line everything up while installing the intake. They are drilled through the spacer, and into the head a little.

Very nice, saves a few grams.

They look great, good idea!

looks good, It may provide some heat transfer benefit also

Looks good. Was the block decked short or material taken off the intake?

Hey Jim,
Not sure on the heads or intake I bought the topend used?
The block has a 10.72 deck height.
The spacers cost me a little less then the 4 sets of intake gaskets, and everything lines up real good now.
