Question for the SD guys: I was getting some gaskets and seals together and cleaning some parts. This engine has a 5 tab oil pan with welded-in baffling in the pan. So obviously, it is a replacement oil pan. Previous owner confirms the pan was replaced as part of the overhaul in 1980-81. Anything specific different about the factory SD pan? I assume it was a 3 tab at the rear. Anyone happen to have a pic of the interior? Just curious if the baffling was the same as the one I have. Thanks

The stock pan had a baffle in it. No windage tray on caps.
Just make sure the corners of the pan at rear have the metal pieces under the bolts that help seal the pan gasket.

Yes, I need to order those corner reinforcements. I really like the look of the little trap door H.O racing added to the stock pan baffling. You would never see it and it would add a layer of security cornering and braking. I plan to drive the car when it's up and running. It's never going to see a trailer while I own it. I don't want to have to worry about those giant bearings starving for oil. A few things to think about.
