I bought one just like that from Kauffman. On the race car I put it on top of oil pan gasket on the block and then used a bead of silicone over the tray before I put the pan on. Never had a leak.

I'm in the seemingly extra-long process of building 3 455's right now.
The 73 XA casting 485428 has a 3/4 length windage tray. The 74 485428 casting has none. The 75 YW 500813 casting also has no windage tray. Glenn |

That mirrors the information in the previous link, V-8's up though mid-1973

The Milodon tray uses studs with stand-offs, and can be used with most factory pans.
Windage occurs at lower RPMs as the stroke increases. ALL engines have some degree of windage at all RPMs. (with few exceptions) In some cases, windage can 'suspend' much of the oil within the block, and can starve the pickup of oil, or at least introduce air into the oil flow. Aerated oil has more of a tendency to stick to parts, or at least slow the return of oil to the sump. And that's all not taking into account parasitic losses. IMO, unless there is a specific reason not to run one, make at least some type of effort to include one on every build. .
