To fit the 325 inlet manifold you would have to port the 320 head to match the larger inlets of the 325, otherwise there'd be a step in the flow and it would be a pointless exercise...

So two options...

1) port the 320 head to match the 325 inlet manifold and use the 325 inlet manifold gasket

2) port the 320 inlet manifold to match up to the 325 TB and use the 325 TB gasket

Hope this helps...

Giles.
