The straight oil pan rail on the passenger's side uses a gasket that fits 216 engines, 1941-53 235 spray oilers, and early full pressure 235's from 1954 to mid-year 1955. The late 55 to 62 235 and 261 engines had a dogleg in the pan rail to clear a Melling M-45 oil pump or the GM equivalent. That pump has bigger gears and moves a higher volume than the earlier pump.
