How much for the oil pan and timing cover?

I have a 272 Marine block complete out of a 1960ish Higgins boat.  I have not done anything with it yet but it's not seized.   Block code is ECG DIF near the distributor, translates as a 272 from '55-'57.  It does have ECZ-G heads and aluminum Glenwood exhaust manifolds.   This appears to be a normal rotation engine with a "Capitol" reverse gear on the back.   But it has none of the other cool Interceptor stuff like an aluminum oil pan or timing cover.

what rotation, in canada most started ,1left 1 right. sales wher poor so single engines sold, so 1 could get a counter rotation as a single engine  boat. in my experience the counter rotation along with side draft dual cards was  a disaster. cure was change to clockwise rotation
deposit the Sid draft set up in the ocean.get a 57 4v manifold and Holley carb

Confirmed this is normal rotation as expected with the reverse gear trans on the back.   I pulled the fuel pump off and saw a nice clean timing chain.   A reverse rotation engine would have gear wheels.
