You can use a stock intake with a 42mm.
They do wear out from too many R&R's and/or running too long with a misaligned mount/backing plate. If you have concerns, you can replace it with a Screamin' Eagle 29635-99 which has a much larger carb bung and will accept up to a 45mm carb. The head spigots are the same and comes with o-rings and 2 intake grommets - one for 40/42 and another for 44/45mm carbs.

Make sure the manifold you use matches up to the 'ported' heads. You may want to talk to the head guy, or you may have to match the manifold.
