i got the intake and the gasket kit thru summit, what kind of gasket sealer should I use, and does anyone have any idea of what I torque that thing down to? gracias

i would use the edlebrock gascacinch sealer, it works great, and comes off clean if you ever do any more work.

I believe the torque specs are 15-22lbs...i just used RTV myself, works either way though.

I used permatex for my manifold swap, works great. About the warped cylinder head, that could be a problem down the road, might want to take it out and have a machine shop inspect the damage
