Default Identify oil pan

Need help identifying a small block Corvette 5 quart oil pan. (6 quart with filter). It is blue, dip stick on right side, drain plug bottom rear. Should be either a c3 or c4. It is not a c1 or c2. Thank you for your help

Robert, you might want to try posting a few pictures of it. A bottom, side and an internal picture would surely get a few responses.

I would also post it on the C1-C2 Forum. Even though you're convinced it isn't one of those, many of the folks there are very knowledgeable of the Gen I oil pans.

Good luck... GUSTO
