I am trying to help a friend source a correct oil pan for his AAR. Would anyone have any pics or a description of it? I tried searching the archives but had no luck. Thx

They were no different than any other same vintage 340 pan. The only number I've seen on confirmed originals were stamped with a large "294" in the bottom sump. I've seen similar vintage pans that looked identical but had 394 stamped into the same area, also likely correct but I haven't seen an unmolested original to confirm it. There are a lot of small block pans made that are the same shape and size, both new and used, but the style with the stamped in 294/394 numbers are not reproduced, used market only.

The 294 pan is 70-72 318 and 340's. Good luck finding a clean undented pan.
