My stock stroke mild 360 build ;)

Well, ran into a problem...trying to bolt on the intake manifold, It doesn’t fit. Lol
Bolt holes don’t line up....With a gasket, without a gasket, they just don’t line up.
Its a brand new rpm air gap.
I then tried a stock iron manifold, same thing.
New uncut SpeedMaster heads...

Could it be that maybe the machine shop took too much off the deck?
I remember asking him from the beginning, he couldn’t tell me an exact number.
With the intake sitting in place on the heads, can you see if the intake bolt holes IN THE HEAD are too high or too low?
If too low, having the intake flanges machined properly will work.
If too high, you may be able to use thicker intake gaskets.
Post a picture looking into an intake bolt hole.
