318 oil pan
Good day everyone,
I just got this 71 Duster and the oil pan is cracked. The dude tightened the drain plug so much that it cracked below the treads and it leaked.
I have an old 318 oil pan that is stamped 392. It has the same shape as the damaged one. See the attached picture of my replacement oil pan. The oil pan on the car is stamped 388. Is there a difference between the two?
Will this 392 fit on that 318 engine?
Hard to tell from underneath the car and I will be changing it without taking the engine out.
Also, I ordered a gasket kit that looks like the front gasket is the wrong one the front of the pan does not have the two holes to thread the nipple of the gasket in. I have to go back to the part store I guess.
This time I’ll bring the pan with me now since it's all cleaned up and painted.
Thank you for your time.
