The POS 408 progress pics....

If I remember right you will use the thin one under the center fitting. You'll figure it out when you assemble it.

Nope. I ended up only needing the larger gasket for the plate.
found out the other two smaller gaskets are for the 90 degree adapter.

I primed the engine today with oil and she holds just fine.
The bolt itself passes oil between the block and the filter. No need for the smaller gaskets, just the outer one.

I have the later model magnum 6 hole adapter plate. for giggles I drilled 6 smaller holes in it too since I have modded all the oil passages throughout to sanborn/guitar jones spec.

I may in the near future go with a remote filter to make maintenance easier, but for now I slapped a wix filter on it and she's good to go.

Just a few more things and I can start putting it in the truck.
