I wouldn't risk it.
Especially if you are running an aluminum intake. They need a good gasket to ensure the proper clamp load around the coolant and intake ports.
I use Fel-Pro 1256 Printoseal intanke gaskets on my SBC engines.

how about pipe taping the intake bolts? will this keep oil from leaking onto my intake?  |

I use liquid teflon pipe sealer from Permatex on all the intake bolts.
This will stop the oil from wicking up the 2 center bolts on each side and making a pool of oil on your intake.

Glad to help.
I've done them like that for 13 years at the dealer... your local dealers's parts counter should have some in stock for you.
