Default C3 Blower motor

I had to remove the blower motor assembly on my ‘73. Any suggestions on what kind of sealant to use for installation? Previous owner had applied some kind of silicone (with a trowel by the looks of it!). I want to make sure it seals properly and can stand the engine bay heat.
