max wedge cross ram intake question

[mentor70]

ive never thought about this before, mainly because i never thought id ever consider running one...

but now im considering running a cross ram on my 65 Net with either FItech or Holley sniper 2x4 set up and i was wondering if you use a valley pan gasket with these manifolds or just paper gaskets with silicone on the china rails.

Repop for standard port size or original for max wedge port? Either way, no valley tray. Paper, or max wedge felpro, silicone on china wall. Originaly used cork.

What heads?
Edit: wow, didn't even consider that you might be talking small block! Str-12 would be cool. I dont think there ever was a crossram from the aftermarket for a b-block, i know there never was from mopar.

Do they even make a cross ram for a small block?

Edelbrock did. Cuda chick is doing one, "before" pictures on her post. STR-12, haven't been made for LOTS of years, now LOTS of money.

@colorado dave did a x-ram I think with Fi-tech. He could help you.

I'd use one of the anerobic gasket makers - not silicone which if it gets loose is a problem
good luck on your build
x ram was run trans am racing 300 cu in destroked 340 took a lot of work to get distribution right
any way to run port injectors and MPFI?
