Common BBC performance intake gasket #
What are some common Fel Pro/Mr Gasket intake pns? Say for an Edelbrock RPM, Vic Jr etc?
Thinking about picking up some Chinese BBC heads for another project, will be oval port.
Finished a set of sbc, getting bored besides they are easier to work on.

I recently pulled my intake, and extensively deliberated between the 1212, as mentioned by Jebby, and the 1210.
The 1210 is a metal insert gasket and has the crossover blocked. I remembered reading in some literature somewhere that Edelbrock doesn't want this gasket used with an aluminum intake, but had read enough success stores of it being used, so I gave it a shot. I hope I don't jinx myself, but so far so good on the 1210 and my RPM intake.
Either one is a great choice. Last two times on this motor I used the Mr Gasket ultra seal. The material on either Felpro gasket is superior.

Also, if you pull the intake a lot....the 1210 and the 1204 (big block/small block) will eventually “print” itself into the head.....but for most of us, it is a non-issue.

I'm about to install the Edelbrock gaskets, but they sent two sets (total of 4 pieces) of the metal crossover restrictors? They seem to interlock, like you could make them double thickness. Anyone know why?
Thanks...

May not bother with these heads they only come in 320cc thats awful big. Guessing the guys who build 500ci engines will want a name brand.
Thanks though...fwiw got a new set of afr 290s here as usual these are super nice. If you order with a flat tappet spring they use Pac fwiw.
