Every car with a TP is different. And unless your TP is in the identical plane of your hood, the distances around the perimeter are going to change. And if your air cleaner is higher than the rim of your TP you're never going to seal it up to the hood without having something that's going to look stupid . Peek inside your hood scoop and see what you're dealing with first. For example, when I was figuring out how big a high flowing air cleaner I could fit in my TP and under my hood, I took this pic through the hood scoop opening. That would take one helluva fat gasket to seal it up.

I purchased a sheet on 1.5” thick dark gray foam online and cut it with an electric turkey knife.

It looks like some of the vintage Cobra race photos. It is glued to the bottom of my hood.

For my car with FE engine I used Play-Doh modeling clay to check the clearance between the lip of the turkey pan and underside of the hood. In my case it was 3/8"-1/2" and I just bought some peel and stick epdm foam to place around the top of the turkey pan.

Further - my hood to turkey pan is less than 1/2” at the front and more than 1 1/4” at the rear.

OK, out of curiosity what is the make and model of your intake manifold?
