If you take some extra time and since you have the old gaskets here what I have done to facilitate swapping manifolds at the track, but it will also allow you to drop the gaskets in place and not use any sealer as I have should you choose to do so.
Take the gaskets you want to run and bolt them down to the heads with washers, just tight enough to hold them well.
Next cut some of your old gasket up in such a way that it sits in place above the valley cover and below the paired intake runners to support the intake gasket.
When you get good fit then remove the intake gaskets and silicone those 4 spacers in place and let it set up over night.
Come the next day your set to just plunck the gaskets and intake on, and now if you want to play around at the track it’s a breeze!
