360 oil pan gaskets….One piece, 4 piece??

AN ANNOYING STORY FROM the old days

Back sometime in the late 70's I stupidly decided to sell the 70RR. I had swapped in a 340, but wanted to drop that in my beat up old FJ-40 Landcruiser, which at the time had a 360

No pan? No problem. I had a 360 rear sump pan which I needed for the 340--to--be in the FJ-40, and I needed a front sump pan for the 360-to-be in the RR

So I made a jig to bolt to the rear of the pans and produce a cut line around the rear cut out areas of both pans, and then bolted them, one at a time to the spare block. Swapped the pieces cut out of the rears of both pans, gas welded them back in. Used a little silicone, and off we went.

This of course is in a small N Idaho town, and no internet then, so parts were not really plentiful, least of all a 360 front sump pan!!!!
