Default Re: Gramma's Car: the new project!

Here's a shot of an earlier block with the factory windage tray mounted to the #2 and #4 main caps. When they went to the baffled pan, they stopped using the windage tray.



And the later baffled pan that replaced it. It prevented oil starvation. Due to the gentle slope in the center of the pan, the non-baffled pans were notorious for the starvation issues on deceleration when all the oil tsunami'd to the front of the pan causing the oil pickup to suck air.
