VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND NEWER 1955-1957 55 265 Intake gasket?????

I am doing an engine for a fellow member for his 55 vette. His goal is to earn all of the National Awards in all of the clubs with this car when it is done. I am having a problem locating the correct intake gaskets . I can get the 57 and up 283 set, and they look right as far as a repro goes it is dead on. They will not workon a 265 :( , go figure. I thought it would work with a little effort by taking 40thou off the lower edges where the corner base of the intake meets the head an block area, no good I run into other geometry problems then WITH ALL OF THESE OVER RESTORED BETTER THAN NEW 5-7 CARS GETTING TRAILERED AROUND THEY ALL CAN NOT HAVE THE BLUE FELPRO'S ON THEM!!!!!! :eek: I know Ollie you will know of a supplier for them
Need some help :confused:
