I agree with the above except:
Moroso Oil Pan Stud kit. ($26) Greatest invention since sliced bread.
With all those studs sticking out of the block, it couldn't get any easier to line-up the gasket and pan. You can see exactly where you have to go with the pan.
Hold the pan up with one hand, start a couple nuts with the other. EASY!

I forgot to mention that the oil pickup needs to be 3/4" off of the bottom of the pan. Since the gasket is 1/4"......you can do the required measurement off the pan rail and subtract 1/4"
Also....a dab of RTV in the corners where the gasket meets the rear main cap and front timing cover, and where the gasket meets the pan is good practice. Tighten the larger 4 corner screws first then do the sides off the center going outward.
