Blortz, sorry that gasket kit didn't work out for you. Trust me, you don't want to put those nylon sons of *****es in your engine, it's worth it to cut your losses and use quality aluminum ones. Also reduced-diameter stove-pipe and new plenum if possible.
The thread mentioned by BillBoost is worth looking at. Unfortunately I didn't have time or tools to do the mod myself. As it is, between work and personal life I haven't even been able to add the rest of my pics to the thread but if you have any questions just message me I'll help you figure it out.
