More importantly... Do the runners in that manifold match the size and location of the intake runners in the head(s).. Peanut port (small runners) heads have very small intake runners, and that manifold probably has larger runners.. Closely check the gaskets against the heads and manifold to be sure you have sufficient gasket surface on both. Even if you don't have the small runner heads, it's still a good idea to check these items.
