Windage trays are there to manage oil impingement on the rotating mass. In other words, all that oil and foam in a wet sump actually induce drag on the rotating mass, and the windage pan reduces that. Only really has benefit at high speeds, or high lateral forces. Are you planning to race it? If so, I'd also suggest looking into an Accusump as well.
BTW, congrats on scoring the Legacy Hurricane. Don't be afraid to reach out to the current company for support if you need it. |
Thanks for the pointers. I looked at the Aviaid pans, compared them to what was available from Moroso and Canton, and opted for the canton 15-6805 with matching pickup and dipstick. I liked the built-in baffles and crankshaft scraper, plus a decent price. In all for today, I ordered in the following;
Canton 15-6805 pan
Canton 15-661 pickup tube assy
Canton 20-850 rigid dipstick assy
Melling 10833 oil pump w/shaft
Arp 154-5606 main stud kit
Arp 254-1902 oil pan stud kit
Arp 100-9910 ultra torque assmbly lube (threads only)
Ford racing (Fel-Pro) M6003A50 gasket set
About $925.00 for this mostly on amazon.
My torque wrenches go out for calibration tomorrow. I can't stress enough how important it is to have a set (in/lb, light ft/lb, and heavier ft/lb) of good, accurate torque wrenches in general, but especially for a project like this. I'll probably try to start a dedicated discussion on this down the road. That's it for now.
