If the intake isn't machined to the correct angles to match the heads a VC leak is quite likely.

There should be no step from the intake VC gasket surface to the head VC gasket surface.

I had a 428 built by a well known shop that leaked and I ended up having to have the intake milled quite a bit. Problem was then solved.
