Was the deck milled shorter or anything?
"or anything" I meant the head milled shorter. I didn't assume anything about the heads or block.
Unfortunately 'blueprinting' means different things to different people. A lot of idiots like to say their motor is blueprinted to impress someone. Usually it's the same guy in the gas station that looks at my demon and says he had a nova just like that one. "with a bad ass 383 stroker, blueprinted and balanced!" and all of them had "rock-crusher" 4spds too!
To me blueprinting means checking everything and measuring everything to get the most performance and or longevity out of a motor, and making sure all the parts work with each other. Like following a 'blueprint' or plan.
So when you 'blueprinted' your motor, did you deck the heads to get a certain cc combustion chamber? Did you maybe rework all the chambers in a stock casting so there are no variations in volume? Did you deck the block to get it square, or to raise compression or zero deck the pistons for quench with a closed chamber? These are things you could do while 'blueprinting'. Because your motor is 'blueprinted' does not tell me what you did.
I am not an expert or engine building big-shot, but please don't tell me what blueprinting means when you don't know what your 'blueprint' was for your motor. The information that would let someone help you is more along the lines of the answer to this question:
Was anything done to the block or heads that would alter the positions of the heads in relationship to each other? If you know this then you know if you need to take special care in mounting your intake to get it to seal. If your engine was 'blueprinted' by a shop then call them and ask or have them change/modify/install your intake for you.
Personally, I would remove your current intake and test fit your new one. Then it will be easy to see whats going on.
Good luck man.

 I thought I was the only one who had to listen to those jackasses.
Same guys don't know the difference between an engine and a motor.
Uh? Was that out loud?

I think that's why he ask how to tell because he doesn't know. Not for a lecture. You guys make us dummies afraid to ask a question. I never got one hit on my last question. By the way I have this balanced and blueprinted, oh never mind.
