I am looking for help identifying the motor I have so I can purchase the correct parts. I cannot find an oil pan gasket for the life of me.

Block casting #3970010
Stamped # V0615CRE which correlates to a 1970 350 4 bolt main 300 hp with body types a AFX.

What’s troubling is that the oil dipstick is on the right side and GM didn’t move the dipstick to the left until the 80’s.

I have tried to match every vehicle and motor the GM produced in 1969 and 1970 and cannot find a matching oil pan gasket.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Casting number matches for a 1969 302 - Z28 Camaro.

I checked that also. Different oil pan.

Pictures would be helpful.

Are there any identifying marks on the oil pan at all?

Jimrichardson1

Nothing on the oil pan.

What is different about the pan? As I said, pictures would be helpful - specifically if you can get one or 2 that shows the bolt locations.

GM V8 small block design & casting was nearly identical for 40 years with only minor differences where the crankshaft meets the block. Even an aftermarket oil pan shouldn’t be so different that it requires a unique gasket.

I’m trying to help but I need more information.

I uploaded photos a couple times. Not sure why they are not showing up.

That oil pan is for later models. I’m not sure exactly which years, but the gasket for an 80-85 small block should work.
