Did you take it apart, or did you buy a disassembled basket case, or what?

ok i don't know alot about those early engines but it looks like either your pan is on backwords or it's the wrong one.

That is the wrong oil pan, the early one's are alum and 2 pieces. There is no way that will work. You have to find a early pan. Also I can not tell from the pics, but the early pan stops before the timing gear pulleys on the crank and seals up to a plate that the cover bolts to. The pan on there now is longer, but I am worried that some one cut down the plate to add that pan. If so, you will have to replace the plate as well (the motor mounts bolt on the plate as well). Remove the cover and get me a pic of the crank area and I will be able to tell more.
