Thanks for the comments and links on the various types of gaskets. I'm not using an aluminum intake so that is not a problem. I'm using the stock cast iron QJet intake. I'm aware of the issues with the types of gaskets for aluminum intakes as I'm a drag racer with various engines from bracket race to Competition Eliminator. I used to buy GM intake gaskets for my stock engines but now those are almost nonexistent as with other GM gaskets for older Chevys. Try buying a GM rear main seal these days. When I bought one at my local GM dealer there were only four in all of the USA and it had to come from a regional warehouse centre. Same with a timing cover gasket. Felpro has so dominated the gasket market that it is hard to buy anything else and some of their products are very poor and their tech centre help can be hit and miss. Really depends on who you get. Certainly stay away from their rear main seals. They are really bad. Not surprised that Edelbrock is making their own gaskets these days.

My concern here is the shape of the gasket. I want something that does not have the EGR provision that is like the Victor MS15114 on the top that follows the profile of the intake. The bottom gasket is Felpro 90314-1. Is this Felpro Permatorque? Doesn't say that anywhere. The head gaskets always say PT on them.
