107 and 108/111 pans are different. On the 107 pan the sump is offset to one side and the 108/111 pan is symmetrical. Also it seems the 1 piece aluminum finned pan was used on all 4.5 107's but only on early 3.5's and 4.5 108/111's. My 111 was mfr in 12/70 and it has a 1 piece pan but I have seen 3.5's with the 2 piece pan. Maybe it was supply issues.
