Default Can 241's support gasket-matching?

I recently swapped my intake out for something nicer and was vexed by this. . .



Now, the above doesn't look so bad, until you look at this below:





I've got 2 sets of 241's and can easily have 1 worked while driving the others (the ones you see) until the 'ported' ones are ready.

Is there enough material for the runners to support the gasket match?

While I'm at it, is there enough in the exhaust ports for the same?

I would think you could probably match them, but I am not absolutly certain. Just from looking at the gaskets, I would guess that you are swapping to a Pro Products intake. If I am correct, you will have to swap your valley cover bolts. The heads are too tall.

Reshaping the runners is not a wise move, especialy exhaust. ID of primary is meant to be bigger than runner OD.

I've already swapped. This is just more than a week old and I had no replies.

No I used the GMPP intake and used ARP bolts as pictured above.





The runners for the intake are actually bigger than the heads runners (hence me asking). The intake runners are almost matched for gasket.

Yes, the 241 heads intake runners will easily accept a match to those gaskets.
