Looks like they could have moved the o-ring so it was actually centred around the port, and had less casting hanging out that far.
I am guessing no one has had similar issue with their vic junior?

Having a fitment issue at the moment with the new intake. Anyone else having any issues? Not sure if it's the intake or lip on the heads. I know the heads work with standard ls3/fast intakes, but I don't have another carb'd intake to try out at the moment. It was tough to get the intake as it is. We had to call Edelbrock directly and talk to an engineer and he said they had a shelf full of 4500 flange intakes. Everyone else we talked to said they didn't have any. It was kind of odd. Then called Jegs and name dropped the engineer's name and they overnited to out. Problem now, is its not fitting.

Sliding it in doesn't work. We called Edelbrock and their engineer said that their heads don't have that lip and we needed to shave it off. It doesnt seem like they ever checked this against a stock head. This isn't the first time I've seen their stuff not line up either. I've seen some cathedral intakes not even come close.
Big problem is, the pics I posted are a customers/friends and he doesn't feel comfortable taking apart his $10,000 long-block and having the heads clearance.

Loosen the heads, rock them back slightly, pop the intake in place with a thick paper gasket, retorque the heads and the intake. How much does it lack fitting if you try to slide it in? If its minimal, touch it up before you drop it in so the heads will pull all te way down.
