Unforgiven, you might try this. at least mill the manifold straight and don't worry too much about the pits unless they still leave a gap. Take a sheet of copper and throw it in a fire to get red hot, then quickly quench it in water. Then cut a gasket out of that. Heating and queching copper like that makes it very soft (annealing). try not to bend it when cutting it out as it will work harden it. you can always throw it back in the fire if need be. I did that on some real old engine I was working on and it worked like a charm! The copper acually will flow into the pits when torqued down and nothing makes a better gasket than a single piece of soft copper. (And no on this one I didn't use any sealant what so ever)
