SBC stocker oil pans

Larry, I think the semi-circular tray actually works more like a wiper than a screen type, in a space that doesn't give ya much.

I did have a Milodon or Summers Bros. semi-circular expanded metal windage tray that worked well with a dragster pan and wiper. It was vintage mid '80's , haven't seen one like it lately. It got hurt I think.

I've been using a B&B pan on my bracket ride that has a side "catch/wiper" that could be adapted in a stocker pan, with a trapped sump, but I don't feel it is as effective as the Z-28 setup I used to run.

With the B&B, 1/2 quart of oil in the pan from 6 1/2 to 7 costs me .04 in E.T., indicating without further investigation that the B&B pan isn't great without the semi-circular tray which I did run with it for a while. I don't gain ET as the B&B gets to 6 quarts or under, it's just that 1/2 that brings it to full that gets me.

The Corvette tray is flat and not as close.
