fiber gaskets tend to wick oil. Steel core, silicone coated gaskets seal much better.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

is there certain sealants that are better to use on certain gaskets and what is preferred to clean gasket surfaces with, single edge razor blade. FelPro intake gaskets with the raised blue bead (I forget the #) with Permatex Indian Head sealer (light on the intake ports/heavier on the water port openings). Same cement & cork is fine on the pan (make sure the pan rails are pretty flat. use care on the front/rear seals & same cement there. likely you will need some slight alterating on the front/rear seals/gasket fitment, mockup dry first. make sure you have the timing cover & water pump gasket turned the right way (easy to see on the TC gasket/harder to see on the pump one but hold it up there & you will see there is a slight bit more contact area with it one way than the other way. some front bolts are wet, use the same sealer. the t cover, have it just snug then start the damper halfway to center the t cover then tighten the t cover the rest of the way. some intake end cork gaskets are too thick, depends on milling, mockup first & mockup intake side gaskets also (check bolt hole alignment. You ain't milling anything so you should still be good but just sayin. EDIT Do the t cover before the pan MORE EDIT on second thought get that handle/tool that holds a razor blade.

Milidon makes a nice one piece oil pan gasket for the 360 with a steel core. No, Milodon makes a nice one piece steel core oil pan gasket for the Magnum engines. Unless you are using a Magnum oil pan on that 360 it will leak if you use that gasket unmodified. I forget the mods needed to make it work offhand.
