Re: Wrong engine block?

The first oil change done was after running the lubricant the garage had in the engine to held break it in the first 5,000 miles. This was when I found out about the 6 quart.
From what I can figure out (ok, from the chilton) the 1970 AMC did not have 6 quart engines. So, would the garage have put a bigger oil pan on it by mistake?
What I paid for was a AMC 1973 Javelin motor that had not been overhauled yet to replace the one that I had which had been overhauled but 'bored the holes to big'.
