Default proper intake gasket rep

Ive always been a chevy man and recently purchased a 89 gt. Im replacing the factory intake with the BBK ssi upper and lower intake. I just recieved the fel-pro gaskets i ordered and i noticed the cork rail seals for the front and rear. I always trashed these on a small block chevy and used no 2 black high temp rtv. Do i need to do the same on my 5.0 rails or should i use the cork pieces provided by fel-pro. thank you

Put the cork down, walk away from the cork. Pick up the rtv. Be ready to hear about the BBK intake. Looks cool but nobody has any positive words-usually. Let us know how it works out. Bubba
