Tried them, no one seems to carry what I'm after. Might have to have a special fabricated one.

Not going to All Ford day at Willowbank next Sunday, car still in hospital. Each time it comes back it breaks something else. I've put 300 miles on the car in 10 months and it has been off the road more than on the road. Poured over $20k into her above purchase price. Wife says a boat would have been cheaper, but I keep telling her to be patient.

Why do you need a new pan?  Should just bolt in between the block and the original...???

In reality windage trays do not do a lot for a street car, see this analysis... show a gain of a whole 2-5 Hp by adding one...

Many other posts talking "10-15 Hp" but most testing show far less, in the 5-ish range for the most part, and only at high rpms.

As the oldest D code I'd doubt (hope!) you are not flogging it at 6000+ rpm and wrapping it around a track, which is where a tray comes in to play, for the most part.  Yet another example of "race car parts" applied unnecessarily to a street car in many cases..

Some cam manufacturers actually recommend not to use them in some cases (generally flat tappet, non-rollers) as it can reduce oil to the camshaft...

I don't know anything about windage trays but I have had a very bad experience with one of the outfits listed above.  PM me me if you'd like to know which one.

If you are wanting to buy a wind age tray, I have a new one with the bolts etc. it has been sitting on the shelf for years. Make me an offer.
I live in Brisbane if that helps.

Cheers Steve

Just say #1 or #2! 

I have never used either, just had them bookmarked from prior searches for "stuff".  No recommendation, just an FYI...

Understood Mert, didn't think otherwise. I prefer not to bag them in a general broadcast sort of way as my bad experience might not be typical, may have been an isolated instance, but I'm happy to relay my experience one to one. Just my preference.

I surely do take the old girl up to 6,000 rpm. Doesn't take her very long at all to get there. Most of this driving is on a secret private road/track just south of Brisbane. No police to worry about, no neighbours to complain about the noise either. Reason for looking at installing the windage tray is that the original oil pan is not as original as thought, and since I'm an old ex drag racer, I like to put the stick in when I have trouble with the world around me.

Do you want a high volume racing pan?

You can also add a tray to your block.

Vpw may also carry them.

To be honest it you have a flat tappet cam you dont want a windage tray as it limits the oil that the cam getts. Go get a Canton racing sump with crank scraper and top baffle, they are about $260 from summit and you'll need the matching pick up.

Where is this road - sounds like it would be fun from time to time.
