Larry,

I have the same block, heads and intake manifold you do. I am using the PROPER Fel-Pro valley pan intake gasket MS96012. Here is a photo of how it all fits, using the included rubber end seals and a suitable amount of the included RTV.

There are some non-valley pan intake gaskets that are quite thick. If your engine builder is using these, they raise the intake up a bit and are likely the source of your problems.
