I tried using one of those one piece gaskets on my '79 Camaro's 350. After taking all the time to use a torque wrench on all of the pan bolts, that thing would leave an oil ring in the shape of the oild pan on the ground after 45 minutes of being parked. After fighting with it a few times, I finally yanked it out and went back to cork and haven't had a leak since. I really do hope you have better luck with yours.

Cool pickup by the way.
