[DeTomaso] Valley end wall gaps-revisited

[Don Thomas]

Are you sure you have a 351C block..?

It's starting to sound like you might have a 351M/400 Block which has a
Deck Height 1.1 inches taller than the 351C.

     However it would seem to me that the metal valley pan, which
     incorporates a paper gasket also, would likely be thicker than just
     the paper gasket that has been used and thus raise the manifold and
     increase the gap even more? I think trying the performer manifold
     tomorrow may provide some new clues.
     Thanks for all the suggestions and wisdom, keep them coming.
