S-car oil pan baffles

[Bernie Benz]

Gasket thickness should be no problem. Just use fluid gaskets either  
side of the tray. Si caulk solves another problem!

How long can one hold the throttle to the floor in a 1G turn?  
Retained oil will keep bearings lubed for quite awhile with a closed  
throttle.
