LT1 intake gasket
I'm rebuilding my 88 350 with WP heads and was wondering what intake gasket I need for the lt1 intake. Will an intake gasket for a regular tpi setup work or do I need an lt1 intake gasket? Thanks everyone for any help

Regular intake gasket from a small block chevy. Preferable get an aftermarket Mr. Gasket that doesn't have EGR holes in it.

Felpro 1205
Take extra care and steps in sealing such a large gasket due to sealing surfaces lost in a performance gasket.
With this particular gasket I've had best luck with a super thin ring around all water ports on the heads and intake, then another thin ring of sealant around the water jackets of both sides of the gasket.

Actually I just found out that my head are the pre 87 style heads. Can I still use the felpro 1205 gasket? How am I supposed to know the angle that the holes have to be in for the bolts? Thanks for any help

Ok last question I promise 
First off am I supposed to completely guess the angle of the intake? If the angles are the same as the corner holes, then I can work off of that or are they at a different angle? Finally, I know that I need to use allen head bolts to thread into the intake, but how long are they supposed to be? Thanks again you guys have been alot of help.
