these are 2 felpro gaskets. one is 98003 and one is 98013. the coolant ports on the ends are the only thing i can see different. info says 003 is preferred but 013 might fit? I assume steel core is preferred over plastic style?

Yes. When replacing these intake gaskets I always use the metal frames to avoid repeat failure.
