Message the same as 90-93 ones? Most 94 lower plenums are machined a bit thicker to adjust for the gasket thickness difference. When we assembled the motor for Adam's Vert (which came out of his '94 TT) you could tell that a thin set of gaskets fit better w. the original lower plenum but that a thicker set fit better with the 90-93 lower plenum that we installed that was machined to fit the newer injectors.

90-93 lower plenum is 14003-30P00
1/94-8/94 lower is 14003-30P01

Assuming the motor has not been apart before AND that you are not changing out lower plenums my 1st choice would be match the type AND shape of the gasket that the motor has.

The FAST also shows that IF you are using a later '94 model year lower plenum (14003-30P01) you need to use the updated, thin gasket (14035-30P01) .

This is why there are 2 different and valid part numbers for older port style heads/lower plenums

14035-30P00 Gasket-manifold $93.72 - thicker one for 90-93 (& early 94 model year)
14035-30P02 Gasket-manifold $77.20 - thin for 1/94-8/94

They don't automatically "roll up" to each other unless you change the vintage of your lower plenum.
