Not Ranked
Just spoke with Lyle at Southern, the original builder of the engine. He doesn't like the expensive Fel Pro gasket, preferring either the Mr. Gasket 202A or the Edelbrock 7224. He uses only enough gray RTV (he uses Locktite brand) to hold the gasket in place and only on the head side. Never any on the intake side. Bolts torqued to about 30#. Generous RTV on the ends and the juncture of the head/intake/motor. s
