87,

Using those runners would require you to install a different PROM to eliminate the cold start system.

I'm not sure from the photo, but they look similar to the Edelbrock semi-siamesed runners. I know that those leave precious little space for the fuel injecctors and their connectors, and are only siamesed about 2" into the runners. They also have the same tube diameter as the stock runners at the ends, but are slightly larger between the flanges due to the blending of the runners. If the gaskets in the photo are stock GM or FelPro, that should be a clue as to the size of the runners. The stock gaskets and FelPro replacements are too small for even the stock runners, and since they appear to match the openings in the photo, your diameter is no better than the stock runners. (Stock runner tubes are 40mm/1.574", and stock gaskets are punched at 1.525" I.D.)

To paraphrase Johnny Cochrane, "If the stock gasket can fit, the runner is probably sh*t." ... or something like that.
