It's really easy to use a "magnum" one piece gasket with the early pan and leaks aren't a problem. All you need to do is make 2 shims to the pan to make it like the "magnum" pan. Aluminum flat stock is easy to use and availible at most hardware stores,you'll need 2 short self tapping sheet metal screws to attach the shims to the pan,use the factory holes in the pan. Cut the aluminum to fit,pre-drill the shims to match the holes in the pan,use a little RTV on the pan or shims,then screw them together,cut off the extra screw hanging inside the sealing area of the pan,assemble and go. Real easy and I have one pan thats been like that for 8 years ,never a leak.

What did you do about the rear part of the seal?? I didn't know about the gap in the front when I did this in 2001 and mine leaks a lot. No one mentioned the front gap on Moparts then.

But the rear just didn't seem to fit at all. Pan has positve outward stamping. This SCE magnum gasket has a positive molding that I would think fits a negative oil pan stamping.




You can see the corner gap here
