So engine is out and totally apart? Or just enough to do the cam swap?
It's in the car. Pan is still off. The other issue is the screen windage tray is cracked, again. It has a very nice crank scraper. I'd like to leave the screen out. But make a baffel to shield the oil pick-up from the "line of sight" to the crank. Something like this.

Dang, wonder what’s causing the screen to break. I have same crank scraper from Ishihara Johnson. Very nice piece.
The oil beating off of it at 7000 RPM doesn't help.
DW you are giving me flashbacks with all these problems. The cam, yup been there. The gaskets, yup been there, the windage screen, yup been there.
Not with big blocks, because I will never used a screen in one, but my small blocks with race pans and screens back in the day, I had screens crack.
That setup you have with the carboard covering the pickup will be fine I think.
