Windage trays, whats everyones opinion?
Was building a 408w Ford and was interested in everyones opinions and experience? I know that if there was power to be had, there isn't much. I was more interested in oil control and your experience with either a diamond or louvered trays or anything in between. I have a diamond one I was going to use, but was thinking about swapping to the Moroso louvered piece.
thanks

Oil control makes power, every time. I use Champ pans that out of the box have windage tray/screen, crank scrapper, and trap doors. This eliminates a lot of the hassle with setting up those components individually.
408w in the stock block? Sportsman? FRPP? What is the use for the motor going to be, and what are the rest of the parts in it?

Front or Rear sump?

Rear sump & stock '72 block
Right now I have the Moroso oil pan for the Fox 351w swap and a Canton diamond windage tray. The pan has baffles and, if I remember right, crank scrapper. I havn't got a chance to put everything together since I need to pull apart the short block that my machinist put together to make sure he did it right. He fill fit my rings, but I don't think they are fill fit. Plus he told me he set the second ring gap at .012 which sounds very tight with everything I've heard and read.
Edit: That is actually a really good price for all that. Have you had any experience with their pans? Sounds like a deal worth selling all my crap for.

The only reason I really gave it any thought was that all new OEM engines I've seen have some kind of windage tray in them. I figure they know more about it than anyone else and they wouldn't put them in there if they were not worth something.
