Damn....I'd put the valve covers on, then sit the intake on and then you'll see how much higher you need it to be.

Well the thing is, I cant have it ripped apart for a long time so I really dont have the time to wait and see if it works or not and plus I have an opportunity right now to buy a spacer so thats why Im trying to find out.

I'm sure you can make it work, but I had to modify mine a pretty good amount w/ the 1" spacer, so be prepared to do some cutting/grinding. Also, you'll have to remove the upper intake (or loosen it) to remove the valve covers. Sorry I forgot to mention that the other day.

Well, Im going to do the tb, u/l manifold, valve covers and hood at the same time. Im almost positive Im about to buy a 1' spacer though so forget the 3/8' spacer.

ORIGINAL: 5IVE.OH

The ford F1ZZ-6584-B valve cover gaskets are the best. They are metal reinforced and reusable.
Does everyone else agree on that gasket? Where would I get that from? I looked up that part number on summit and it doesnt exist... dealership?

I was thinking about these ones...

Price does not matter... I rather spend the extra 20 dollars and get a quality gasket.

I got the Trickflow rubber gaskets and they are very good quality and cheaper than Felpro's .......
