Intake Gasket for Trick Flow Heads

I was using the Felpro 1284 for my ported stockers but they don't line up great with the Trick Flows I have now. What's everyone using for their Trick Flows?

So you used head gaskets you paid too much for as intake gaskets? They are under $37 on RockAuto. As thick as they are they should be reserved for zero decked blocks.

Far as INTAKE gaskets my opinion would be to run a factory type gasket(from GM or Victor Rienz) would be easily trimmed to fit since they are just plastic, no steel core.

I am sure you could get away with say an LT4 gasket but the LT1 stuff is as easy to get ahold of as the local parts store.

Funny you should mention that. I just found a set of LT4's (12367777) in the for sale section and decided to give those a try.

My bad I understood you wanted the head gaskets. Im using the GM gasket for the intake and it lines up fine.
