Just as a matter of fact--This engine was run with the 8 quart Milodon with NO windage tray. I think I will install a windage tray and see what happens--What do you guys think? Any opinions or feedback on using a tray in a small block? I will find out for myself either way but would welcome some input. I am also going to try some header extensions as well. Should be very interesting or anti-climatic. J.Rob
