As long as the chambers are inside the bore they should work fine.

its not desireable to have the gaskets hanging inside the chambers or hanging over a chamfer on the top of the bore too.

They'll work but I'd use the 4.5" bore gaskets if you haven't already got them.

No....I can get them. 4.390" cyl. bore or 4.390" gasket bore? Just put a 4.500" bore gasket on it ....in my opinion.
