Default 69 427 Intake Gaskets Search

Guys,
I'm looking for 427/390 intake manifold gaskets that are cut to mimic the entire manifold edge so that there is not a section of the gasket that protrudes onto the the mounting surface of the head. Fel Pro gaskets are typically blue and it is therefore very obvious that you have "new" gaskets installed and it's ugly. So far I have not been able to find any that actually "fit" the manifold. You can't just cut them to fit as they are made out of some super tough metal core material.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Brad

Hi Brad,
I believe the Paragon Corvette Reproductions sb gaskets have the cut you describe, you might want to check out their bb gaskets.
