I was unaware of this fact, will a intake gasket for a 96 454 for a automotive application also work?

Cant seem to find the Kevlar ones just the ones made with aramid fiber. Has anybody used the Extreme marine ones from Hardin Marine?http://www.cpperformance.com/p-11759...ular-port.aspx

I thought they told me kevlar when I was there, maybe they are aramid, either way I've run them for 10 years without a problem with 15psi. I'm sure there are other brands that would work as well.
