Ok, trying to do some research on installing intake manifold and carbs and as usual not finding what I am looking for.  Installing  stock cast iron 3x2 intake manifold on a 1970 440 'Cuda.  Wondering if there is anything specific about the hardware to use - studs, nuts etc, and what is the sequence for installation?  What sealer, if any are you using?  Same questions for the carburetors and valve covers as to what hardware and gaskets and best place to source them?

Thanks in advance, want to get the engine closed up while it is on the stand

I use right stuff sealer .
I also use the 1215 Felpro valley pan to close off the heat crossover as these cars are not driven in cold weather . I use 1 fiber gasket between the pan & head on each side , start the bolts on one side & use the heat riser opening to pry the intake down to start the bolts on the other side .
