Does anyone make a windage tray for the 2.2 motor or is this a make on your own item?

Yes, you make your own or www.fwdperformance is making oil pans with them. Gary D has crank scrapers.

grant racing is selling some nice common block oil pans.

Thank you.

Doesn't the pan sit so low that the crank isn't even spinning in the standing oil? Most chrysler V-8s, the crank hangs low, somewhat submerged in the oil, making windage trays usefull, but the crank in these 2.2s is pretty well up in the block. No?

2.2 no, 2.5 with no balance shafts-yes.

All engines will benefit from a windage tray and when things get violent, IE high RPM, cornering, the oil gets picked up and hits the crank causing it to slow down, also the oil gets aeroated and I am sure more but bottom line, they help.

Do you have any pics of the windage tray you made?

the crank dosent set in the oil but it is close enough that the windage the crank creates will actually pull the oil up into the rotating assembly

how about a link to grant racing and i hope they arent the ones that make the steering wheels

thanks john for the link can you use a 2.5 pan on a 2.2 if they are both a common block

If thats a question, yes, just make sure to use the 2.5 oil pickup otherwise you'll starve the engine of oil!

thanks for the answer simon

I'm thinking a making a windage tray from expanded metal (wire mesh plate) and using the old balance shaft holes,bolts, and some spacers to mount it. What do you think?

Sounds like a plan!

Moroso sells a one-way screen for $40.00 or so. It is a universal fit type of deal.
