how's it goin' fellow gearheads...great site and people - glad to be here. can one of you guys point me in the right direction where i can get some help identifying an oil pan? after some exhaustive research, im up against a wall.

im loving the corvette world, and am getting started on finding a body, but for now i have this oil pan - and i need to know about it. either i will keep it if i like the years that it fits, or find a new home for it so i can help fund the project.

any help would be really appreciated. some pics are at the link below:

Jonny

that oil pan only fit 375Hp 327 motors ....  so it should be worth hundreds if not thousands to the right person...  it really need to be listed in hemmings motor news... in the classified section...  

can you clean off the layers of paint and check for a stamping number in it...  and the date code... don't sand. it.. you have to use stripper and soft tools... you don't want to scratch it...

does it have the expanded metal windage tray built in...    

you know the one..   it scrapes oil off the rotating parts ...  keep it from becoming a twist...

A windage tray doesn't scrape oil off rotating parts, that's a crank scraper. A windage tray acts a barrier between the crank and the oil so the crankshaft doesn't froth up the oil, and create oil drag on the crankshaft.
