It looks homemade. Recycle bin perhaps?

I suspect that was lying in the oil pan when the pan was installed. I don't think something that size could get into the pan with an assembled engine, even with the intake off. Maybe an artifact of getting the pan boiled out and stuck in there by a baffle.

I've never seen that item in any flathead that I've taken apart or inspected. God only knows who put it in there . . . and why . . .

Thank you Terry, makes sense.....Going with an 8BA pump and pickup w/screen SO would think it to be unnecessary now??

I would agree. You can see where the drill caused some burrs on a few of the holes.
