Oil pan questions

I look at it this way,... There was a reason that Chrysler put baffles and windage trays in their oil pans, at least on the more performance oriented engines. The baffles WILL help keep oil down in the sump of the pan for the pickup tube.

I bought the "402" pan for my 440 from Mancini Racing because my original had the corners knocked in a bit and it would have been hard to knock out the dents under the baffles. Price was reasonable and it fit on with no issues. I had to mess with the length of the pickup tube, but that is quite common.
