I had the same question last fall when I hung mine on my big block. Everyone that I talked to said that there were no gaskets from the factory so that is how I installed it and it turned out great. No leaks at all.

If you like you can us some Ultra Copper on the face of the manifold. Use a very light coat, It will help fill any imperfections in the sealing surface. It cannot be detected once installed..BKH
