INDY heads/RPM Air-Gap...mismatch???? HUGE gap on the end rails

[Joe <jgray_55@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK...most likely a real stupid question...but here we
go.....My 401 is in the shop being
bored,balanced...etc. I have INDY SR heads, and an
Edelbrock RPM air-gap intake. They mocked it all up
today to check pushrod length,intake fit...etc.GOT
really WEIRD...the intake gaskets line up just fine on
the heads..BUT are  off on the intake manifold,the
manifolds ports are offset. He says the intake would
have to be welded and machined to line up correctly
with the gasket ports!! My friend who is doing the
machine work says that they run into alot of Edelbrock
port to gasket opening  mis-matching?? NO quality
control????WORST DEAL.........the end rails are 5/8"
off?? There is a 5/8" gap at the point where the
intake end seals are to be????? WTF?? I know the INDY
heads are somewhere around .500 taller than  stock
heads...BUT how can the intake surface fit/line up
correctly BUT the ends be that far out of whack??????
Am i missing something here..or is the manifold a
piece of @#*&(^%$#$^&  ?? I have to drive one hour
tomorrow afternoon to the shop to look at this
mess(Thursday). ANY helpful info greatly appreciated.
Please email me or call my cell and leave a message....309-338-3210.Thankyou,Joe
