3 NOS Ford windage trays new in the box . Comes with windage tray and two gaskets. In Ford boxes .$150 each shipped lower 48 or knock shipping off and pick up in middle TN.

There are two types of trays. The 70 tray has notches or cut outs on the side and 69 does not . Which ones are these?

I would say the later , as they carry the later Sticker. I have not opened them though.

There are 3 versions of c9zz windage trays early 69 late 69 and 70 with the 2 side cutouts but its more a running change same as the later fe oil pan baffle. The cutout got bigger by the oil pan pickup tube area.

Are there advantages to one over the other? I have never heard a discussion of that subject.

The 2 side panrail  notches were for the 70  starter j straps routing away from exhaust manifold heat unlike 68-69 when starter cables routed by motot mounts. The windage tray cutouts started smaller then bigger as a running change probly due to oil flow and more dipstick clearance or oil flow to oil adapter etc not sure as the cutout is in the front lh side area.

If it starts it's streetable.

Thanks guys! Its my understanding the slits help drain the oil back to the pan. Years ago  I purchased some from Randy G. RIP , and he had cut larger slots in them for drain back. That's what I used in my engine.
