Do i need to trim my intake gaskets? (pic)
Do i need to trim that piece out of the way of the water jackets or no? Also do i need to put silicone on the gaskets between the intake and head as well or just the cork ones between the intake and block??

yes you need to trim it. I use sealer between the head and intake when I use the 1250 or 1262 which ever one you are using. As far as the intake to block I glue the cork down with weather strip adhesive or Indian head then in the corners I use a very small amount of sealer. Silicone can attack cork so dont get much on cork.

Well got the intake torqued down, and if i look through the intake i can see some gasket in between the intake and head on one side, looks like the gasket scooted down a little, but not much. Will this be okay or should i pull the intake up, scoot the gasket up, then reinstall it?
