When’s our set the intake on the engine with the gaskets in place, do the bolt holes line up? In other words can you put in the intake bolts in? Sounds like the threads in the head are too high?
Maybe not any help here, but I stumbled across something that seems to be working well for me , on a 2954 victor. The bolt holes are more perfect than any intake I`ve messed with so far.
To check port and gasket alignment and to keep checking the same over and over while working on them, I have always used oversize bolts to line everything up , I got the idea of sleeving the 3/8" bolts I`ll be using to run it on the engine, a 3/8" copper sweat coupling with the stop rib filed out of the center fits over the bolt and locates the victor intake perfectly, also works well on the gasket when checking for alinment on the heads too---- just a thot----
