Default Gaskets

Ok,
I finally get around to ordering my intake manifold gaskets, so the Weiand book that comes with the manifold tells me to order Felpro 1250 gaskets for my intake!
But when they arrived they look different from the old ones I took off the stock intake and don’t match up new intake! Are these going to be fine or do I need to return these and get ones that mach the intake 100 percent? if you look at the end ports on the gasket there not open all the way!

The end hole is the water crossover if your concerned about the extra gasket material around the bolt hole dont be. Just make sure the gasket sealing surface is on the surface around the ports. I used a set of ford racing heads and standard gaskets were not large enough around the ports. ordered them from ford I think the number was A50 they are felpro gaskets though

I used the same gaskets. I trimmed the little tab off. There is a matting surface on the head side but not on the manifold side. I just didn't want to take the chance that piece would come off over time.
