Gaskets etc.

Any FE head gasket should work fine, most are sized approximately for a .060" oversize 427 bore (4.294") which is certainly big enough for any 428 bore size you might achieve.

The PI intake actually has Medium Riser intake port. Because the same intake was used on 4V 427 Medium Riser engines in 1967 Fairlanes and Comets. It works fine with C7AE-A heads, that is the head used in many 1967 PI engines. There is a mismatch at the ports but that was true in thousands of police cars also in 1967. It does not affect performance much for street use but if it bothers you buy a Medium Riser intake gasket set and open up the head ports to match the intake.
