Which oil pan gasket?

[PWB]

Happy New Year Gang!

 

Gussy up the underbelly. Got my powder coated oil pan from Santa. (TA)

 

TA Performance lists two different thickness oil pan gasket sets for the 430: 1/8 or 3/16.

 

I remember on Chevy small blocks different casts called for one or another and could not be swapped on same?

 

Is this an issue here?

 

Also my rear main don't leak. Leave  it alone?

 

Thanks

Not sure on gasket thickness Mr. Paul,  surely others better informed will chime in !

If that rear main doesn't leak, as most  do, why try and fix it ?

If the rear seal is dry, I certainly wouldn't mess with it...  Have you removed the old pan yet?  If so, how big a hassle was that?

No removal yet. Nothing wrong with the old pan but I wanted one painted, ready to go. New pan has a magnetized plug. Waiting for all the parts and tips. Service manual says remove fan shroud, disconnect shift link then lift the motor a bit just to clear the pan. 

I dont get the different gasket dims.
