Putting an engine that is making 400 HP and 500 ft. lbs of torque in a chassis that is capable of nearly 1 G on the skid pad without a baffled pan is just asking for trouble...

If our favorite cars would have come with this type of pan,I'm SURE there would be a lot LESS with SR blocks in them now.
2many, That's a great looking pan. What year is it from (or, another way to ask, when did the baffled pan get introduced), and other than the added baffle on the inside, what exterior details distinguishes it from the earlier non baffled pan? From your pictures, it looks identical on the outside to a non baffled pan.
