.018---.020. Fel-pro does not make them  Mancini raceing shows they
have
them in Mr. Gasket or Mopar performance parts I could not find any
other
sources

OK, I did find that Fel pro  has the intake gaskets I want. # 1215
They
consist of  1 valley cover--two gaskets--  three O rings?? and four
paper
shims.  They also have the heat block offs.  A mopar engine builder-
friend
recommends these intake gaskets when putting on an aluminum intake on
steel
heads.

 Price range on the steel  headgaskets is about $25 ---- Intake
gaskets
#1215 local parts house , about $33
 Rock Auto-$25.79 and Mancini raceing  $26.95

I have not ordered them yet till I am sure the heads are
