After getting the oil pan back together, it still leaked. Pulled the intake out, put on some new gaskets, ran just a 1/4 inch of rtv on the end walls, then put it all back together. I think that ended up fixing it, but I still haven't had a chance to confirm it. It has rained pretty much all day today, so I can't drive the truck unless I want to get my feet wet.

This engine swap has not been smooth, but it has been a great learning experience. The best part about it though, is I have a truck that runs better than it did before, doesn't burn oil, and can do a burnout now (it's only a peg leg, but maybe one day I'll be able to fix that). The next thing will be to drive and enjoy it. I want to go for a few months before I have to buy anything for it again.
