In the future, a wide angle shot showing your measurement setup and a close-in shot showing the measurement you are trying to photograph is best for this kind of thing. I have no frame of reference with those pictures.

SBC heads, measured from the cylinder head deck surface to the intake manifold mounting surface, should be an 80 degree angle, not 90 degrees. If you don't trust the machining on the heads, have a machine shop check them out.

I noticed that as I was tinkering around I was not going with the angle of the head where the intake mounts I think I was overly concerned and obsessed I went with the angle and the gap closed up to almost nothing

Calm down bruh, it ain't personal.
Anyone who comes looking for help needs to make it easier for others to help them. If it's hard to read what you are asking, you will get less help.
