as the blower intake does not use a valley pan tin, i would do this. set the intake on the engine in question. shim the intake, using the china walls until the bolt holes line up to your satisfaction. measure the thickness between the intake and cylinder head, using feeler gauges of the stack necessary, add some amount for crush, then select your intake gaskets. seal the china walls with the appropriate rtv. just my opinion on how i would solve this problem. your mileage will vary.

I've always used a stock valley pan to keep hot oil off of the bottom of the intakes, no matter which intake, blowers or others. I cut the outer edges off with tin snips and seal the pan to the block and intake manifold with a good grade of adhesive silicone Same thing on the intake gaskets, seal them to either the heads on intake manifold, not both Good luck on your deal What type of blower and HP are you using and shooting for? BTW, I learned a long time ago you can never have to many parts for our car racing hobby: devil: I would order two sets of every thickness intake gasket you can buy and use them to set your intake up on the motor, don't forget the valley pan with an oil drain back hole drill in the middle of that pan for oil drain back
