This can get a little tricky! If you are referring to the first generation small block Chevy that is. Here's a GENERAL guideline for stock oil pans with dipsticks that enter the block, and not the pan:
67-79 Drivers side
80-81 Driver or Passenger side
82-96 Passenger side
As this was a corporate engine, variances can be attributed to clearance differences in the various body styles (pickup trucks, Corvettes, etc.) and the dipstick provision on the engine blocks oil pan rail. Some blocks have a "relieved" pan rail area to provide for locating the dipstick on either side. Others are driver or passenger side specific. There is also the issue with thick or thin front seal to deal with, as well as 1 or 2 piece rear main seal - but don't sweat this as any decent parts counterman should be able to tell you which combination of parts will work for you. Even if he or she has to reference your block casting number and verify your oil pan style. Hope this helps & good luck!

The shortblocks are pretty much the same, other than switching the dipstick over to the opposite side, around 87. The same year, they redesigned the cylinder heads. Changed their angle, and configuration. That was the first generation vortec. A different intake manifold is required, along with self aligning rocker arms.
