Just want to add a little tid-bit to troopers info.. If you do use high Temp RTV after you run a read on the front and rear eng block.. let it sit up( cure) awhile b-4 you plop the intake on Why,, because RTV floats and if it wet and runny and the intake compresses it in a runny form , it will blob inside the block get in the oil pan and get sucked up in the oil pump... and Oil Pumps hate rubberized RTV..
