Hi guys, planning on swapping the sump from my 253 to a 304 block tomorrow.

Are the oil pickup gaskets just paper? Or are they something special?

From memory they are paper style. But I think that they are a special oil resistant. I wouldn't make one from Gasket paper.
I would purchase a new genuine one if I were you, surely it can't be more than $2-$3.
