New Ford Racing crate engine with aluminum GT-40 cylinder heads Pt# M-6049-X303
For now, I bolted on my old Edelbrock Performer Intake with a 600 cfm carb. (I plan on going EFI sometime in the future)
I have the idle screw cranked way up and it still sputters and dies. When I spray carb fluid around the intake manifold gasket at the heads, the idle goes up indicating a leak. I tried to re-torque the intake gaskets, but no difference. When I put them on, I noticed they didn't line up as good as I would have liked.
The oil looks a tad milky too, indicating the coolant/water is making its way into the crankcase.
I'm not sure what gaskets they were, I threw away the box and can't find the receipt. I know they were Fel-Pro.
What gaskets should I be using? The carb intake type or the EFI intake type?
