Bit off topic sorry :( I recently bought a BBC which was originally a Marine engine, it came with a finned aluminium pan......are these things of any value or should I just fill it with dirt and bang a plant in it :D
cheers

They make nice "wall art"
Toss it up on eBay - someone may be building a BBC powered boat over the winter - you never know...

Is it the same "profile" as a normal pan or is there sonething different about a "boat" pan?

If it is a typical bbc cast pan ,the sump is to long to clear a crossmember.They are usually 7 qt capacity in the pan .How much?

wait ,I jumped you were asking what's it worth .Actually probably not much .Any one doing a serious boat motor is probably going to an offshore style pan .I have a couple allready .I'm saying one crisp hundred is about it .Merc got a lot of money for them ,but that doesn't mean a lot .They charge a lot for everything.Pan would be worth 50+ shipping to me.I'm not needing or asking for it .
