Most of 1932. It was replaced with a steel pan late in the year.

I think just the early 32's? BTW, the early 32 firewall was different on the left side, Ford was going to use a vacuum assist for the clutch and a bracket would have been placed there. Early B blocks had a pad cast into the left side near the oil fill tube to mount part of the assist unit.

The French SIMCA military engines had several versions of aluminum pan but they are odd balls not to be confused with the USA made 32 Ford pan.
