I have been using the fel pro performance intake gasket set with great results. They have elastomer sealer around intake and water ports. Sometimes can be cheaper on ebay. I have seen the set for around 27 or 28 with shipping there.

I never use cork end seals. Instead I lay down a even bead of the right stuff black silicone rtv sealer.

Same here FelPro performance gasket and a rtv bead on the rails.

Superformance .
Just ordered a set for my W2s this week. He makes them in different thicknesses in case you have decked your block or have an alignment issue.
They sell them at Hughes but I called him direct . Nice guy .
less $ than Felpros too.

Agree with post 2-3 & 4. That’s all I ever needed.
I have also used superformance gaskets. Not the intakes though. Very good gasket. I didn’t like the valve cover gasket. Personal taste on that one. I really like the thick reuseable rubber coated steel MP gaskets for the valve cover. Mr. Gasket Uktra seal is also another excellent gasket.

The more I think about it, it is mostly prep of the surface area than the gasket itself for a good seal. But the above are my favorite gaskets.
