The Magnum truck pan won't work and my 340 pan is not close on the rear seal. I was told a 360 from a non magnum will work but don't have one to try. Thanks for the help.

I tried the magnum gasket, but it was too think. oil leaked out the front and back seals. so I re did it with the la pan gasket. there is supposed to be a single gasket replacment for la pan's now, but don't remember actually seeing one. there was also a guy that reshaped his la pan to use the mag gasket, and someone else that sectioned of the mag pan and welded it onto the la pan so he could use the mag gasket.

This is the approach I took. Whiz wheeled a 5.9 Magnum truck pan and a 318 LA car pan and then welded the Magnum flange onto the LA bottom. It's working for me. ‘72 Charger, 5.9 Magnum, Tremec 5 spd., Pro-Touring ‘14 Big Horn, Quad Cab, 4x4, 1500
