I think SCE was the one and only company making them and they don't appear to have them on their website anymore.

Just get the 5.9 oil pan gasket from a 95 ram. It is one piece rubber type. I have one on my 360 - works fine. Then you can get it from autozone or whatever you have close..

I forgot about the magnums how but i thought the timing cover part of the gasket was a little different???

I would like clarification also. My 360 pan gasket went to leaking at the strip last weekend. I did find the FelPro PN for one piece is OS34409R. PN for front timing cover is the same, so I'm gonna give it a go!

To use the magnum gasket you need to fill the area in the front of the pan that off sets. It's in the front where the pan rail meets the radius for the timing chain cover. I had photo's but can't find them .

Are there any magnum style factory pans that fit the cars? I am assuming they were all truck style that don't fit the old K's...

I just read an article with this info...Bummer! I think Mancini Racing may have a stock 5qt center sump magnum pan available, but I have a drag (only) car, and would like more lube capacity.

"Oil Pan Interchange
At the bottom end, the Magnum engines all use the LA-series 360 rear oil-pan relief. Any 360 oil pan will bolt to a Magnum. However, a non-Magnum pan cannot use the Magnum one-piece oil-pan gasket, as the early LA-series pans are notched at each side of the rear relief, while the Magnum is not. A non-Magnum pan will require the LA-series 360 oil-pan-gasket set."

Please don't tell my Milodon pan that. It can be used, you just have to fill in the relief. I welded in a piece on mine.

Glad to hear it Justin. I also have a Milodon. I'll check it out...not sure the area you are talking about, but I will soon find out.

Extra silicon in that area usually works, too. I've omitted the oil pan and intake end seals and just used silicon or Right Stuff sealer on quite a few engines with great results.
