The issue is the LA pan has a notch at the front corners and the 1-piece gasket doesn't fill it in. You can cut the "hoops" off the 1-piece gasket and use the 360 LA end gaskets, or fill in the notch with RTV. That's what I did.

Oh, and the 1-piece gasket is for a 360/5.2/5.9 only. The 318 and 340 can't use it because they have a larger radius at the rear of the pan.

I thought all 360 pans for a car were a center sump, but maybe there are tweaks to the sump on that pan that makes it better? Outside my experience, just curious.
