427 Oil Pan...original, reproduction or what is it???

[timzsaleen]

I happened upon some 427 parts. The block is a C4 center oiler that was windowed, the rest of the engine parts were 390 pieces. The oil pan caught my eye though. The only marking on it is 2011 cast into it. Can anyone here identify this piece? If so, what is its value?

Looking at the photos I tend to think it might be from a marine or industrial application, the four boss's cast into front panel suggest a non standard mounting and it is also constant depth wheras car applications usually mount 'tail' down and oil drains from rear to front. But that might be due to slight angle of photos shown. Numbers cast into block etc might be of more help.

Drain plug boss - rather than typical 1/2” NF threads, it appears that it may be pipe thread. Pipe fittings and hoses were fitted to some boats and possibly industrial applications to facilitate easier oil changes.
