What pan gaskets are you using?
I don't have any yet except for the ones that came in my Ford engine gasket set.

I went with the Ford one piece rubber/steel gasket. It fit great, and supposedly is the only gasket not to leak with Canton pans.
I'll look into this when I get back home.

Here's another question - Since I'm using a Canton screw in oil dipstick (screws into the right side of the pan) I need to find a solution for the stock dipstick location on the left side of my block (beneath the driver-side motor mount). When I was putting on the pan, I realized this whole needed to be blocked off some how. Maybe they make small freeze plugs (about the size of a small bolt) to block off the hole? What did you do about this?
I don't have this hole in my block. The factory dip stick location is in the right side of the timing chain cover. My cover (Blue Thunder) came with a small expansion plug to press in there. I'm planning on using the stock dipstick location.

cobrajeff - I don't think I'll have to chop the pan. Your's looks great BTW.
