Thank you Tim & Chris, the instructions and photos are very helpful. I guess it will have to be done, since the body is not installed (haven't worked on it yet) this would be the time to do it.

Any tips on proper oil pan gasket installation? I'll be doing it laying on ground (wish I could do it with the motor inverted on a stand) but I don't want to take the engine off again b/c getting the transmission, fuel lines and everything else hooked up really took some time earlier this year. Be that as it may, concerned that the oil pan gasket might not stick in place nice and flat before I can get the pan back on there while I'm laying on the ground....
