I have a 1971 Satellite with a 360 in it. I just bought it last year, and rather than the fun driver that I thought it would be, its getting to be some work. It seems that I have blown out the cork Oil Pan Gasket (7 qt Morosso-Deep Pan) and I was looking for advice.
It looks like I need to drop the steering linkage to drop the pan, scrape off pounds of silicone, and swap the gasket.
It also looks like the header tubes just before the collector are going to be in the way.
**Are there any good reinforced rubber gaskets for this job?
I am looking for any tips on this one.

Any help on the process would be great.
Thanks all.
Kurt
