The end seals don't bottom out when the manifold is installed. The cured RTV is at least 1/16" thick.
Btw, I don't run the exhaust crossover because I'm on propane fuel, it's not needed.
The intake is an Edelbrock Performer that I bought over 20 yrs ago...but I have a factory Ford cast-iron 4bbl manifold sitting here, I might just bolt that thing on.

That engine rebuild I had with this intake manifold was good. It ran strong for many years.
I just gave my cast iron manifold an inspection, and I think it looks good to go. I've never run it, I got it from a donor truck.
Performance-wise, I don't think there should be too much difference between the Edelbrock Performer that I had and the Ford 4 bbl. on a basically stock engine. Definitely heavy though!
