Some other nimrod pulled it up.
My motivation is the desire to use a sealer on my runner gaskets. But, because feedback is strong enough AGAINST the use of silicone sealers on an intake, it seemed worth posting. I'm sure silicone works for awhile, but does it work for 5 or 10 yrs?

The gasket set I bought (I think it was Fel-Pro) did not come with end gaskets. They supplied a small tube of silicone sealer, which I used.

Yes, you need to drain the coolant or it will dump into the engine when you break the seal on the intake manifold. EDIT: DOH! I was thinking L98..... Never mind.

No intake coolant ports so no way to leak coolant.

There is no coolant running through an LT1/4 intake manifold.
If the throttle body coolant line is still in place, you would need to remove a little coolant.
If the throttle body coolant line has been bypassed, no need to remove any coolant.
