I use a full length Milodon pan that has the windage tray held in on Dzus fasteners. I have a crankscraper siliconed to the bottom of the block. That usually stays in place, but if you have to pull one, you usually have to pull the other. I'm sure you could change out some main cap hardware and attach a windage tray to the main studs like a small block.

I use a crank scraper sandwiched with an aluminum pan.Superperformance gaskets and it's dry as a bone.
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

I run no upper windage tray or crank scraper. Charlies pan with a screen bolted in. 7100 every pass, no issues with oiling Doug I think the screen will have some effect, almost like a windage tray. IMHO I wouldn't run without one, at least with with any sort of stroked motor. We have a 5.0 stroke 655 that basically runs the same pan and oiling system as our 572 (4.5 x 4.5). The pan is custom, long length but shallow for ground clearance. We couldn't swap over the windage tray that we use in the 572 for obvious reasons so we ran without it in the 655. We used to lose oil pressure in the shutdown, it didn't drop to zero but it used to get low (down to 15psi). At idle, hot it's around 45psi. This never happened with the 572. We also run an accumulator. Bearings looked fine on strip down, we didn't do that many runs that season anyway but we are getting a custom tray/scraper built. I see it as cheap insurance on wet sump systems.

Windage trays and crank scrapers need to be as close as possible to the crankshaft. Locating them deeper into the oil pan negates their purpose. Putting O rings between the block and tray or scraper will make it easier to remove the pan and tray as a single unit. If your scraper is a close fit, using dowel pins for proper location is highly recommended.
