depends which intake...i bought both and looked to see which one matched up the best, went with the felpro 1211 i think, the marine felpro are stamped with the auto felpro number on them so they are the same they just use a marine number so u have to pay more. Ithink the 1211 didnt have the crossovers so that why i used them.

Really tough to beat the Merc HP500 gasket. It has some give to it so it will torque down and cover slight alignment issues.
