Exclamation help with engine swap

i have a 1974 ford f-250 and recently blew a head gasket. we bought a 1991 fuel injected motor and when switching the intake manifold over we found that no gaskets would work with the manifold off the carburetor motor and the heads on the fuel injected motor. if anyone knows a way to fix this or if a company makes a manifold that would work please let me know. thank you

You will need to use the carb heads or else figure out a way to mount your carb on the fuel injected intake and you would have to leave the injectors in to plug the holes.

Here's an adapter to mount a carb onto the efi manifold, it also has brass plugs for the fuel injector holes.
