few magnum questions before swap.

That statement is NOT true. Magnum timing cover, Magnum motor, LA oil pan must use 4 piece LA gaskets + some goop. The Magnum style one-piece pan gasket will only work with the Magnum timing cover and magnum oil pan.

I used the regular, non-van power steering set-up, but had to cut my battery tray and use a narrower battery. Works like a charm.

Man you guys get irritated quick. Anyway, That makes sense, but I took my information from magnumswap.com, but maybe I misread it...

"The Chrysler LA 360 oil pan will bolt-up to the Magnum with no modifications, but you aren’t stuck with the typical leaky four-piece 360 Gasket. The Magnum uses a one-piece oil pan gasket. If you use the Magnum timing cover, you can use the gasket as-is."
