oil pan baffles



That isn't an oil pan baffle, but a windage tray type setup.  It keeps the
oil from splashing on the crank and losing parisitic hp.  What you need is a
baffled oil pan or something that will contain the oil so the oil pump
pickup will be able to access it on hard turns (instead of it sloshing back
and forth and avoiding the pump pickup).  Of course, Shrick has one but it
won't cost you $20!!  This would probably be a little cheaper:

Although it looks as though it is a fairly simple bolt in piece and probably
could be fabbed fairly easily.  Anyone have one of these??
