Default L46 Oil Pan?

Bought my 70 in July so I'm learning as I go.

It has the L46 engine and my mechanic who's great with old cars says it has the wrong oil pan on it.

My question is: does the L46 have a different oil pan than the regular 300hp 350?

Thanks.

The L46 is a 350hp 350CID engine. Atleast that is what it is in my 69.

No, same pan on the base engine and L46.
