Guess this part?

Evening everyone!  I obtained a donor "good motor" for my car as I didn't want to go through a rebuild again. 

Just pulled the stock pan off it so I could put my newer drain plug pan on.

 

However, this part fell out of the oil pan when I drained it off. 

Any ideas where it came from?  It's definitely half of the part.  The other half was not found, yet. 

 

I suspect it might be the high pressure pump connector from the cam shaft to the pump... half of it at least.  Looks small for that though.

Could be part of the drive cogs for the air pump for the brakes located next to the oil fill cap top righthand side of the engine. IF it is, I'd be asking is it a good usable engine? Those cogs take a beating from what I have seen. They are easily replaced with a new pump so look to see if that pump was replaced at some point.
In any case I'd be digging into that engine before relying on it to be a good runner.  Sorry to say.

We have a winner!

 

Just pulled off my air pump from the bad motor and matched the broken part up against it.  I also see the air pump on the donor motor is missing a bolt. 

Going to pull off the air pump from the donor motor to see if someone was already in there.
