Just rebuild 273 engine installed Big cam hyd / adj drive train was looking into putting a intake valley pan . Are they worth the money ? Any advantages other than keeping the intake clean and cooler ?? Thank you in advance Ray
the biggest reason for it , is to keep lifters from coming out in case of pushrod failure. it does help keep oil off intake and directs it back down on cam. doesn't hurt.

Right out of the Milodon catalog:
LIFTER VALLEY BAFFLE
Keeps hot oil off the intake manifold, allowing a cooler fuel
mix making more power. Keeps surplus oil out of valve covers
leaving more in the oil pan. Maintains oil pressure, during
pushrod or rocker arm failure by keeping lifters in their bores,
except with roller cams.

Jusr a quick question? That would not make a difference on a divorced intake, would it?It keeps the intake charge cooler which in turn usually results in more power. Although not enough you'd ever feel it.

The 383 4-speed i built for the 68 Coronet i had in the 90s had to have one, with the ol Weiand street single plane high rise..and come to think, I've Never had a big block intake that Didnt need one. Man, long day... ugh. I'm The Dumbass ...Like on a big block Chrysler? I don't see how it could.
Absolutely, and with a ol Strip Dominator, on an SB, there is nothing to gain from that.... except I'd probably get some vacuum leaks and oil leaks all kind of stupid ****...I mean....that is to say anything with a divorced intake, like the big Chrysler and early Hemis for example, they already have that benefit.....so "make a difference" is kinda a moot point, since they already benefit from that.
Did that make sense?
Yes, probably. 99% of cars on the road and at the track get by without the pan just fine, from the oil control standpoint. I'm not saying it doesn't do what people say it does. Now if you're worried about lifter retention during a failure, that is a different story.I am overthinking things????
