The smaller,RED gasket is a Superformance gasket for stock port windows. The BLACK gasket is the Hughes Oversized gaskets,for ported heads...they are a near-perfect match to the cnc'd heads...but looks like I'll be doin' some whittling,when using these Hughes gaskets! 7042882-INTAKEMANIFOLD-TO-GASKETMATCH002.jpg (226 downloads)

If you make one with the center recess,for dual-plane manifolds,it would accomadate BOTH types of manifolds! I have an RPM Performer dual-plane that I wouldn't mind trying out in the future! Right now an M-1 is my manifold of choice! I agree! I am glad it was brought up, I didn't even think of it, almost all the B and RB engine we do have an M1 or victor intake on them. BTW, I just did a flat plate for a 608 hemi dad just did and it seals completely. Adding the recess in the plate will add expence to it, but I will try to make one for a good price. Of course, I will have a price together for them BEFORE I make any, and that price will be set in stone. -Kenny I'd like one of the recessed plates!

I'm running the hughes 2 piece. But I have a few leaks to deal with. I think their design would be ok with a thicker gauge metal.

I prefer a little contrast in colors on my motor...but yours is immaculately CLEAN! Tim...I've heard more than a few complaints of the Hughes plate's leaking...maybe that's why they're discontinued!

I would not want to have to remove a head to fit it like with the Indy plates. Would these be a 1, or 2 piece plate?? What price range would these be in?? Can you get a picture when you get one made?? "I've upped my horsepower, so...... UP YOURS!!!"
