I left the drain plug UNpainted. The paint flakes off the edges after the first oil change anyway.

The tray sticks out past the pan a bit but that is probably because the pan is shorter than stock as I mentioned before. There is "The Right Stuff" at each side of the gaskets. Block-sealant-gasket-sealant-windage tray-sealant-gasket-sealant-oil pan.
The sandwich is in place.
When I built my first 440 in 2001, I used regular oil and a bottle of Comp Cams break in oil and that habit stuck with me. Over the years I have used Brad Penn, Joe Gibbs, Valvoline VR1, Royal Purple and Castrol. I didn't use a supplement with the Brad Penn or Joe Gibbs oil. I was at the local Speed Shop today and since they didn't have either of those, I bought 2 gallons of Redline 10w30. $48 a gallon ???
The regular oil I used before was often on sale for $20 a gallon, add the $15 for the Comp Cams supplement and I have $50 or so into the cost of oil. This other stuff never goes on sale and at $12 a quart x 6 quarts, that is $72 plus tax.
I know that owning these cars isn't cheap but jeez!
