Pontiac had a windage tray (baffle, engine oil grp 1.430) in 1955 and the
top Corvette engines in 1960.
Phun Phact: the 1967 option code Z-28 (actually Z-280,1, 2, & 3 ) 302 was
rated by the marketters at 290 hp (actual was more like 440) because they
wanted the sans coulottes to buy the 295 hp SS 350 (incidently with a very
weak crank, why journal sizes increased for 1968). Back in the day, one of
the indicators of a really high performance engine was "not available with
air conditioning".
Still flagellating over forgetting that the cam is under the crank in a
Corvair so no tray needed.
