Oil pan question

[Matt68]

Cleaning up my 10/68 cast 340, I can’t find any numbers cast or stamped on the oil pan. Pan looks as old as the block as far as wear and rust. Can it be factory stock for the 340?
TIA

Is it for a 68 model year car or 69 ?

did you look on top near bellhousing mounting surface?

does it have a machined pad at the oil pan rail?

what color does it look like the motor had originally? The bottom most layer or paint.

any pics?

I don't recall any numbers being stamped in the pan on my '68 either- but then I can barely remember what day it is... I would say if it looks original, it probably is.

The oil pan number is stamped in the bottom of the pan.

my bad. He wrote cast so I thought he was talking about block numbers; like vin and assembly numbers

I found 2 pans from a '70 and a '71, both stamped "288", and one pan I believe to be a '68 with no stamping. I can't get at my original '68 right now, in storage. Hope it helps.

The book shows #394 for 67-69 273, 318, and 340. No number on earlier pans. Not sure what is right.

Here’s a 69 340 pan with original paint…stamped: 394

It went into a 1969 Dodge Dart 340. I’ll try to post some pics.

That's a truck pan.
No factory 340s in trucks, so definitely not original.
