I haven't read all the other replies, so I don't know if it's been suggested yet...
...but if you have the time and energy, remove the entire intake manifold, tap out all the holes to 1/2" NPT and install brass fittings. The trick is in finding the proper fittings so that there are enough clearances. It's not too big a deal, though of course removing and installing the intake manifold isn't exactly a small deal. I'm lucky in that I have my 2.1L intake manifold sitting around waiting for the new motor, so I've tapped it at my leisure. At any rate, this is the best way to do it. If you have the time and conviction, forget the silicone!
