Well, as usual I'm gonna be the dissenting vote. I use the end gaskets with Hi-Tack on the block side to hold them in place. I let the hi tack dry thorougly, then put a small gob of Copper RTV in each corner and CAREFULLY set the manifold in place.
IMO one of Ford's "better ideas" on Windsors and 385's is that the intake bolts are vertical. Setting the intake on straight without moving the gaskets is real easy with a stud in each corner!!!
......I don't have leaks on chebbies either with this method......I don't like the idea of big gobs of silicone on the inside of the motor, and perhaps eventually block an oil return and/or clogging the screen on the oil pickup tube......Last edited by Dave Severson; 03-06-2006 at 12:19 AM.
