Last year for production for the 440 at the Trenton Engine plant was 1978. Any vehicle after 1978 received a “banked” engine.
The last authoritive source on the plant dies several years ago. My recollection was they “built out” any inventory they had to build this bank before decommissioning the line.
Look on the pan rail near the starter and see if any numbers are stamped - if so please post them.
Common at Chrysler and probably at other OE’s too.
A more recent example at Chrysler/FCA is the NAG1 trans.
We stopped making it at the Kokomo North plant but cop cars got them well after end of production.
That pad is blank and on the other side where the dipstick goes in there is cover or cap that looks original to the engine. I wonder how they checked the oil?
