Moroso T pan

[bn69stang]

Is a windage tray still needed with a moroso t pan , it has an oil control baffle built in ? ..Bud

[cjshaker]

In my opinion, a good tray is still worthwhile on a good build. The Moroso pan baffle is more designed to stop oil from splashing back at the crank and to maybe catch a little of the oil being slung off the crank. But a good tray will help catch the majority of that oil and stop it from being slung around the crankcase. Probably not really worth it on your typical street build, but for a race engine I think the benefit is certainly there.

Thanks for then feedback Doug , motor is out of car and back together with all my changes and just have a stock pan , front suspension is of as well . will get my new suspension on and car back on the ground and motor back in . thought of doing the t pan , and will have to trim my milodon windage tray ..

Windage tray is not necessary and you will have to weigh the risks/benefits of it for a street application.   They may add a few ponies (but more than likely not) but they require two gaskets (double the chance for leaks) and some require some grinding/fitting.

thank you for clearing that up , for us less educated  , I have read a lot about this , but it is hard to get real world truth , thanks

Thanks Brent , appreciate the input for sure .

While we gotcha here Brent.
Aside from an extra quart of oil and the baffle, is there any real benefit to this pan over a stock pan?

I am considering taking an old stock pan and welding in some baffles in lieu of buying a new pan.  Kinda on the fence about it.

There are two versions of that T-sump Moroso pan.  The more expensive one has trap doors in it for oil control while cornering/accelerating/decelerating.

the part number for the first pan at  $ 225.00 ish , is 20607 and just has the rear baffle and the 20608 is  $ 305.00 ish and has the side and front baffling ..

I have wondered if a windage tray kept some splash from getting to the cam

This is true, but you also need to use their oil pump pickup which is $75 vs the very cheap stock pan pickup.
I was figuring the Moreso T pan would cost me $315 vs reusing a stock pan with pickup which would be more like $15 and 20 minutes of test fitting/welding my own baffles.
Still on the fence on it.... it's easier to experiment with something like an intake that doesn't require pulling the engine to change

And with that particular pan and pickup, it mounted my oil pickup off the bottom of the pan quite a bit so using the windage tray and extra gasket
puts it even more distance from the bottom of the pan. I wish I could give exact numbers but I'd have to find my notes.

[bn69stang]

How far off bottom of the pan , should we be looking for bout a half inch or so ?

The two advantages of using the T pan is
a: You can carry more oil. Which allows better cooling and less chance of oil aeration.
b: More ground clearance.

I've used both the deep sump and the T, I think the deep sump looks more drag racy
and the T looks more road racy. 

[bn69stang]

How much deeper is the t pan vs a stock pan , i figured the extra oil capacity was in the t section , not the depth but could be wrong
