Anything you can make. I used on from a junk yard, it was fom a Dodge Intreped that is a flexable tube. Check out Lokar, they'll have one that wiil work.

I used the one that came with the engine. I had to put a small passage hole in the windage tray and make sure it wasn't rubbing against the crank.
I know the amount of oil required for the engine so I fill it a quart below capacity, insert a dry stick and score a mark. Then fill it to max capacity and score another mark on the stick for a high-low overall reference. I have the same pan you do.

thanks, jon

I did the same as lineslinger but, the included stick was in the way of other accessories. Like he mentioned, make sure you cut enough of the windage tray away.

i didn't install a windage tray, is this a mistake?

Its not a mistake, just a choice.
If you aren't going to be running prolonged high RPMS/racing its not that big a deal.
It helps keep the "free floating" oil in the lower oil pan area concentrated in the pan by subduing splash and frothing.
I did it on my initial build as I already had the engine torn down and it was just another little bit of insurance and yet another place to spend money on the beast.

Ya, like he said. lol
It's a good parts to use.
