Do you need 2 oil pan gaskets to run a windage tray on a 318?

On the listing on summit for a Mopar performance oil pan gasket it says that you need two to run a windage tray, is the true or false. I know you need two for a big block. Do you need two gasket sets when running a small block with a windage tray?

One on each side of the tray.

NO as far as a stock type windage tray.

This is for a stock type 340 windage tray and stock oil pan. Okay so I have two different answers here.... Which is correct?

 

[halifaxhops]

I would think if the tray has hole like the oil pan does yes, if it fits inside no.

 

[racerdude5]

The tray appears to only have little lip, theres no flange for oil pan bolts or anything like that.

 

[halifaxhops]

Then I would think one. My 440 mounts where the gasket goes in those holes.

The factory stock 340 windage tray bolts to specially threaded main cap bolts on the #2 and #4 main caps. It does not go under the oil pan. You WILL need the special threaded main cap bolts from a 340 because the 318 won't have them.

A big block windage tray bolts between the oil pan and the block, so you need two gaskets.
