Dave,

Your comment about the early Z-28 pan is interesting. I "think" the "wrap around" windage tray is old school and my reason for thinking so is because no aftermarket pan builder uses that design.

The most common design I see is the screen type and louvered type, both designs are bolted in the pan, farther away from the crank than the Z-28 design. Again, I remember some years ago several test done that concluded, "the farther away you can get the oil from the crank, the better"

Of course, we began this post talking about stockers so the "horsepower" pans are not legal. However, my original intent of the post was maybe someone builds a screen or louvered style pan packaged in a stock appearing design.
