Dont go too thin, or it'll just burn through in a short time. I use thin heat duct metal, cut to appropriate size. 1 tip,,,make sure you put the sheet metal piece between the cylinder head and the gasket, otherwise the exhaust gasses will burn through the gasket material. I also put a bead of silicone sealer around the port before installing the sheet metal block-off plate.

Rich, Go to your local model hobby shop and pick up a small piece of thin, aluminum sheet metal. They sell it very thin. Cut out two little squares that will cover the openings in the gaskets. Then put the gaskets on the heads, and seal these little squares over the gasket holes, and install the intake manifold as normal.

In case I want to reverse this in the future.----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
