buy the pan gasket for the newer FI engine, as it's made of rubber and won't leak, whereas the cork four piece gasket certainly will eventually. It' simple to convert your oilpan to the newer gasket-just grind down the raised surfaces on the face of the pan that hold the cork gasket, and the new gasket fits perfect without leaking.

IIRC, Felpro makes three gaskets for the 300, depending on the cr and mods done to the engine. The top of the line hp one is like $60.
I bought a cheapo gasket set, and the head gasket failed after about 6 mo. Now, I am sooooo happy to spend the $60 for the top of the line Fel-pro.
P.S. I noticed something very interesting in the two gasket set posted earlier: The v.cover bolt pattern is diff. I didn't know that.
