Do the stock GM oil pans have baffles in them. I'm looking at the F-Body and CTS-V pans and needed to know if they have baffles like the Mast Pan. Also is it helpful to have the bell housing bolted to the oil pan? I'm also looking at the aftermarket pans, but only the Holley has the bell housing bolts.

Yep, they all have baffles.
I know lots of people, myself included, not running bottom bolts on various manual trans, th350/400, 700R4s, etc. No one seems to have a problem.

They have baffles but they are not that great from a tracking standpoint. i am running an F-body pan and used a trap door baffle from Improved Racing. Nice piece and bolts right in place of the stock one.

Thanks guys. Sounds like they are there, but they could be better.
