I believe that with heads that big, you wont be able to use the LT4 gaskets. You'd have to get a SBC match to the heads (AFR publishes this info on their website).
I don't think that Edelbrock intake is gonna do you any good though. I doubt you can even open the ports up that big. Not to mention the lack of plenum volume.. A ported Victor single plain intake would be a wiser choice.

Theres people on this site running stock lt4 intakes with the 227's making 6-700+ hp I dont think my intake choice is an issue with my goal.Lets get back to the topic

Back to the topic... Go to AFR's website and look up the gasket they recommend. Their ports will match that gasket.

I dont even know what your goal is... But if I were runnin 227's, I'd be lookin for alot more power than 6-700hp... Im doin that with ported stock head castings.
Anyway, good luck.
