what is the best gasket(s) and the best sealant to use my intake manifold.
thanks,,,mike
 
Fel-Pro is a good brand. No sealer is req'd except around the water ports on each corner.

And most, me included, recommend not using the front and rear rail gaskets as they tend to squeeze out. Silicone RTV is reoommended.
 
I've used "The Right Stuff" on several builds. It has worked every time.
 
I use a little 3M weatherstrip adhesive to hold the side gaskets in place- just a little around the water ports. And RTV on both ends. Be sure and clean the china wall and bottom of the intake ends with alcohol. RTV won't stick with even a trace of oil.
