I always check the fit dry, then if all looks good just the metal pan with a little bead of high temp silicone on the bottom wherever there are ribs, and more silicone around the each intake port on top. The silicone is probably overboard, but it's good insurance.
Thanks for that Don, I had to check out the Pete guys video. He is a smart guy from what I saw. I did the same combo of trick flow heads and RPM for a customer, worked perfect.
I have used both ways, with the paper gaskets and also without.
aluminum intakes and cast.
Napa gasket sealer when useing the paper gaskets, Dry on the pan except for silicone in the corners were the head and block meet.
I use some pipe dope on the intake bolts to stop any oil wicking.
Cast...
971 oil pan for big block 73-8 b-bodies. This was nos and ran very little. It’s in excellent condition still just scratches in the paint and no dents. Very hard to find these days and nothing fits like an original. $225 and shipping

Thanks khryslerkid, what I am seeing there appears to be the upper bearing near the column shift gearshift indicator. I am looking for the bearing on the lower end of the column.
Cracked rear pump housing, broken park gear, vaporized governor mechanism. A&A(Rick) hooked me up with everything! Put in spacer to eliminate gov. made plate to replace park mechanism cover. Removed all the mech. Back together - working fine sitting on jack stands, waiting for snow to go and dry...

The media must have a short memory, nobody mentions Andy Reids fine sons. One killed himself and other killed people in a DUI. I guess when you are Captain Cheeseburger and State Farm is paying you, it's all good.
Yeah I wouldn't want to go above Edelbrock's recommended torque on an aluminum manifold. Just softer metal versus cast iron boat anchor.
I wasn't gonna weigh in how I did mine to avoid the blah blah blarggagaga about it, but wth...
My 7193 is torqued to 25 ft/lbs on a set of 452 iron heads...
Sorry I'm having trouble with the site- so many ads and pop ups Yes have sheet but it's not a J code car Just RM21H Bought a new block and heads way back when from chry when they were available Built my own hemi with 472 rotating assembly and 2 Holley 600s 354 dana and of course a 4 gear Thx...
Make a plate to cover the pump opening. Use a pump gasket.
Move the new bowl to the rear carb to hide the cover, rear bowl to the front carb. ( the float level obsevation hole might be different location too)
This is a 66 book. The 72 book shows a reduction of 10 . Don't have a 69 book. What would be the reasoning of reducing torque on an aluminum manifold? Fear of it getting bent?
