DIY 041 Oil starvation

[LILABE2]

After installing the 430 in my 55 ford I found upon hard acceleration the oil would slosh away from pick-up causing momentary oil starvation.

It's worse with the late model pans 61 and up so use a 58-60 if possible.

I have 2 oil pressure idiot light senders a stock 5 lbs and a 40 lb race version I use a toggle switch to select.
It is visually annoying to use only the 40 lb switch for daily driving especially at night, At idle it reads 20 lbs.

Solution: 58-60 pan I made a large door hinged at the top of the stock baffle plate. 61 and up completely cover up the center of the stock baffle with sheet metal. This should help your motor live longer even on stock MEL if you got a heavy foot.
