Intake Gasket for TF 190s

[mopowers]

What intake gasket are you guys running with your small block Trickflow heads? I'm trying to find some thinner ones than what I've found so far that have the correct port size, or have enough meat that will allow for some trimming.

Get some gasket material in the thickness you want, and cut your own.
That's what I have to do for my ported maxwedge heads.
An xacto knife and an empty 45 cal case (percussion hole punch) are your friends.
Same for < that car.

It may come to that. I'm not in a hurry though, so figured I'd ask what people are running. The ports seem to be around 1.165" x 2.26".

I have used the Fel Pro # 1213 intake gaskets. I think that all the intake bolt holes are blind on the Trick Flow heads, so make sure you have the correct length bolts.

Thank you and great reminder about the blind holes.

Rich and I just used an off the shelf Fel Pro gasket with his 5.9/408 build.
There was still some room around the intake ports so it wasn’t as if the gasket blocked flow.
