Vortec intake gasket

I have an intake gasket from a sbc rebuilt kit I got from summit however I am putting vortec heads and intake on the block. Do I need an intake gasket specific to vortec intakes or can I use the one I my in my kit which is for gen1 350?
Thanks

I think I'm an idiot for asking. Lol. Wow. Not even close. I was confused cause someone from hotrodders.com said they were interchangeable.

Just ordered the vortec gaskets and the vortec specific bolts as well.

Got to love Summit, they got everything you need and will be at your door within 2 days.

Thanks
