When I ran big blocks, I didn't use goop on them either, can't remember any leaks .
I used Super Weatherstrip Adhesive on the gaskets just to keep them in place because the engine was still in the car when I did it. It has never leaked.
If the engine is still on a stand, you won't need any sealer, as long as your surfaces are clean & flat. Having pan studs & nuts is much better than bolts too.

I believe it's just cork but oddly it doesn't say in the description.

Description says that it's a cork rubber gasket. Your choice, dry or sealer. I must ad that I have small blocks, not big block , have different sealing issues. Don't overtighten them. I usually watch the squish area, tighten evenly till they just start to bulge at the fastener area. At least that's my method.
Good luck!
