Default Looking for recommendation for 'tall' intake runner manifold

Looking for a dual plane intake that uses the FelPro 1206 gasket. The intake runners are taller than standard.

Any suggestions?

My heads use the 1207 gasket, so if you set most box stock intakes on the engine, in this case a Victor Jr., you can see into the ports over the top of the manifold runners. Had to weld up the manifold on top of the runners and port it to the heads, then port the runners at the plenum end to maintain the taper in the manifold ports.

I would think a Performer RPM Air gap should work. You will still have to port match it if you want to optimise the performance.

Thanks V2, the Performer RPM Air Gap looks like a winner. I am going to call Edelbrock to confirm but I think this is what I need.

Just confirmed by a tech at Edelbrock: the 7501 Performer RPM Air Gap will work great but will not clear a stock corvette hood. Thankfully I am making a stinger hood and will modify it to have the necessary clearance.
