Someone told me that while im building up my 5.0 to invest in a baffled oil pan to improve the oiling. Anybody heard of this and know where to get one at ?

Ya, canton makes and entire kit, pan, windage tray, pick up and dipstick.
There is a couple different styles, pick for what you intend to do with the car.

Click to expand...

ya, first off it takes like 7 1/2 quarts of oil, so by default your oil is cooler.
Second the baffles keep the engine oiled in hard cornering.
Third the windage tray scrapes the oil off the crank, which is proven to get for few hp back.
