How do you change the intake gasket on a 1997 silverado vortex v8 350?

Which intake gasket? There are two gaskets between the intake manifold and the heads, one sealing the manifold to each head, plus a couple front/rear gaskets that seal out the crankcase oil. To get to those gaskets you need to remove the intake manifold. That involves removing a lot of peripheral stuff that's mounted on the manifold.
Another gasket is between the manifold and the throttle body. That gasket is a lot easier, just remove the bolts holding down the throttle body, clean both surfaces and put the new gasket in place.
If the engine is idling fast, sometimes it's just the EGR valve gasket. That's just two bolts then clean the surfaces and replace the gasket.

replace intake manifold gaskets, if gaskets have been replaced and intake has been clean oil and plugs have been changed then your problem most likely would be the timing.timing the distibutor on a vortex engine sometimes can be tricky.
