My Superram mocked up on my Edelbrock 3860 intake. Going to buy all new fasteners and gaskets next.

Looks nice. I used rtv on the manifold side of the runner gaskets and white lithium grease on the other side facing the runners. This allowed me to use the same gaskets for years involving numerous teardowns. Same with the plenum gasket and the throttlebody gasket. You can remove the assembly without having to buy and fit new gaskets. I glued the plenum cover to the plenum and tightened the fasteners from the bottom. Most could be tightened easily with a 1/4" 1/4 drive air ratchet with a swivel. The plenum cover never came off is 10 years. Good luck.
