Moroso 5 Quart
I used this Moroso with a one piece seal. No leaks and fits..

Disconnect the battery,Drain the oil and remove oil filter,
Drop the starter,
Remove the transmission cover plate,
Drop the steering cylinder,
Drop the idler arm,
Remove the oil pan bolts,
Clean the engine were the new seal will go,
Use a one piece seal for 79 corvette 350,
Check oil pump inlet for popper depth to new oil pan,
Install new seal with sealant in the corners only,
Install pan,
Install steering cylinder,
Install idler arm,
Install transmission access cover,
Install starter,
Fill with new oil and new oil filter,
Connect battery,
Did I mention to Disconnect the Battery, the Starter is very Hot!

U guys are unbeliveable I went from not knowing where to get the pan to not knowing which one to get.I have the $40 one from summit looks good.The 5 qt from summit sounds great a little worried about fit ,one peice gasket sounds really interesting can that be used with any pan.Than I finaly decided to go with the replacement from wilcox but they don't tell you if its in stock. I guess i'll call monday
thanks so much for your help
