on this 2 piece tunnel ram it looks like the gaskets between the plenum and the intake runners is dried up and possibly will leak.were can i get replacement gaskets for this or do i just coat them with gasket sealer.

If it's a paper style gasket I think you can get large sheets of gasket material to cut out your own gaskets. I thought I saw a magazine do that when they were restoring an old Cross-Ram intake.

Why not just use silicone? I've used it for stuff like that and it works fine.

I've used both the gasket paper (on a carb and an EFI TB) and silicone (t-stat housing) to make gaskets before. Both worked great, and will probably cost less than a gasket from Eddy.
With silicone, just don't torque it down all the way at first. Tighten it slightly, let the silicone dry, then tighten it the rest of the way. That way you've got a layer of conpressed silicone in there.

Yea becareful with silicone! What presses out also presses in. It could have a devastating effect on oil clearance!
