Gentlemen: While transferring the components from my 307 to my new 350 I noticed that there was no gasket between the oil filter adapter(the part the oil filter screws into), and the block. Is this correct??? Dennis

This is a true statement. The seal on the filter seats on the block to make a seal.

Like DZ says there is no gasket. I always put a few drops of locktite on the threads of the two bolts that attach the adapter to the block.
