This is for MikDe:

Are you talking about an extra baffle in the oil pan? or a regular windage tray attached with extended studs off the main bearing caps?

See pics attached. Yes, a windage tray that is bolted. Sorry, the info is from a book.

FYI, that's what the bottom of my 305 looked like... I didn't want to remove the main bolts on the new block in order to install those studs...

I Donno,.........

I Think it would be worth the effort to Install it.........

The Crankshaft has a tendency to turn the oil into a Foam with the Beating it'll get.......

You know Bondo.....since when you been so polite. If it comes stock you better put it in. I put em in when they don't come with them in car engines. Not only for aeration but because obiviously this engine has problems getting oil back to the pan from the heads at certain times like hard turns and quick acceleration. This starves the bearings when the pump can't get any oil. Rhut Rho Shaggy!

Next post.....help, I've got knocking in my engine....what is it??

Probably get an after market oil pan with integrated tray?

No, it won't hurt anything.. You may have a little more drag, but it's not the end of the world.

Well, shut my mouth! you learn something new each day, and from what I read in the small block Chevy book, on a car it only works when going over 6,000rpm to help keep the oil in the pan, I guess it makes sense to have in a boat engine, due to the rough water conditions at times though.
