Re: Fw: 440 head question

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Thanks folks for the replys, but I am still a little befuddled,  I
know the port that goes accross the intake, under the carb can be
blocked off with an intake gasket,  What I am concered with is the big
semi-circle holes arounf that port. in the head. looks like he** and a
trap for dirt and small parts.  Are those also covered by the
aftermarket intake gasket??

To Chick:  are you saying that instead of the stock type valley cover/
intakje gasket combo, that there is available a seperate valley cover
and seperate intake gaskets? . Thanks...........MO
