I went ahead and trimmed the tabs off the gasket. You can see in the pics that they were way off from where the gasket wanted to be positioned, so I'm sure that was part of my problem. The stamps on the pan are also off from side to side (Canton stock replacement pan). I positioned the gasket on the block first and ensured it was correctly seated in the channel on the rear man. For extra insurance, I ran a thin bead of gasket maker on both side of the gasket around the rear main. We'll see if the third time is the charm.
