Just re-use the old gaskets. They don't need to seal liquids just air so they don't deteriorate over time. Make sure you port that sucker first, and not just the TB opening.
Borrow a Dremel if you don't have one, then pick up a tube of JB Weld or similar two-part epoxy, the quick set kind.
This shows you where to put the epoxy at the pinch point.
Down the hole (sorry not the greatest shot).
Where to epoxy at the injectors.
You want to remove that hump under the injector. If you are really careful, port match the opening to match the head; there isn't much material here.
The hardest part of the install is getting to the lower IM bolts underneath. Really, it's easier than it may appear. Give yourself a day to do it, and another day if you plan on porting it out. If you want more info on the porting, ask away as I have done two so far. Good luck and congrats on (finally) finding one!
