Re: 327 Manifold Gaskets

Though I and others prefer the metal sandwich manifold gaskets, the composite type give good service as well when properly installed; your problem is not with the gasket construction type. Don't forget the manifolds have to "float" a bit with expansion and contraction so the torque specs for tightening them is important.

I'd suggest having the manifold mounting surfaces planed or surface-ground as a unit assembly.
