48 to 52 pans use eight rib cover, 53 to 64 pans use four rib cover, covers can be changed.

Re: 1954 pan with 8fin gear cam cover
Since it's a pan in a shovel frame, the door is wide open for a mix of many years different parts. Hopefully the selling price reflects that.

Still not good at sending pictures, see if this opens.
Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll admit to being wrong at times,
the 1952 cam cover is a one of a kind.
Sorry not related to initial question, just clarifying the 48 to 52 answer.
Cheers,
Jim M

Late 52 motors had the 4 rib cam cover. Most 52s have the odd ball cover.

Re: 1954 pan with 8fin gear cam cover
All good answers and summations, the deal will be are you going to be satisfied with your buy. Being its a pan in a swing arm shovel frame, correctness must not be the priority,,,,, shoot if t floats your boat, go for it.
happy buying,
riding,
and surely wrenching if it's a pan.
