How do you seal your small block intake?

so - I just took the top off of my 360. There were no leaks from the intake anywhere. The previous builder had used a set of thicker intake gaskets that did not have the port seals and a thin bead of sealant on the head side only. Those tabs were still there, they had some sealant under them. The end gaskets were not used on either end - just a copious amount of orange RTV - it filled the gaps to overflowing - it looked sloppy but absolutely worked 100%. The intake is a Victor series.. though I doubt this makes too much difference. I'll be doing this too fairly soon - gonna keep an eye on this thread.
