Default Intake manifold alignment/depth

Purchased a sbc block from Lunati. Completely prepped, bored to 4.155" x 4.000". Clearanced for stroker crank and aluminum rods. Deck height is now 9.010".

Called Lunati, and asked how much must be machined from my Hilborn stack injectors to compensate for change in deck height.

Answer: i'm sorry sir, I don't know ask your engine builder :shock: Ahhh, you built/machined my engine, sir :wink:

Ok engine builders, I haven't had a bad answer from this site yet. How much must I cut mani to compensate for change in deck height? What type/thickness intake gaskets are you using to get these figures. Fel-pro,s run .041" thick all the way to Mr. Gaskets steels at .018-.020"?

Any info/part numbers would be a Godsend right now!!!!

Gotta help me here fellas. Have all the pretty parts out on display, and wife's on my case... muttering something about "dust catchers" :evil: :evil: :evil:

Help build a racer & save a relationship
