That one is for a 350 THM. The other one is irregular in shape and is for the 400 THM.

'81 will be a 350C(lockup type). Same pan as "regular" 350. Word to the wise...if you plan on getting a chrome steel pan, be prepared to have leaks.....just sayin..

Same goes for thermostat housing and water pump! Shiny is pretty, but not good for keeping liquid where it belongs.

I replaced my stock TH 350 pan with a steel one. My original pan was distorted and destroyed by having the bolts over tightened to "fix" leaks. Bad idea.
The new one looks just like the pan shown above with the plug. It also leaked a bit at first, so I replaced the pan gasket with this one:
Moroso-93102-Perm-align-Transmission-Gasket
Problem solved.
