340 MANIFOLD VS MAGNUM MANIFOLD ?

Steel on cast shouldn't be a problem....drag racers have been doing it for decades. I would use the EQ gaskets and the 340/magnum gasket on the respective surfaces....but that's just me. Silicone will give you a little more clearance, but you may not need the extra clearance???????
That was the plan to use the 340 heat shield gasket but have not made my mind up on the other side.
