I've finished stripping the block from a '74 Elite that I'll rebuild for my J-H and have found the sump already has baffles welded in. These are alloy plate 1/8" thick welded in that compartmentalize the area around the oil pickup- they leave small gaps at the top, bottom and sides, along with triangular cut outs at the front of the bottom. These look like they'd be effective for controlling oil movements. Is this something Lotus did, or was it a later modification by an owner. It looks pretty neatly done.
