Trying to warm oil from cold start to get to operating viscosity faster here - unless I misread.

TLLB is a lubricated thermal barrier, would hold heat in the pan. Not sure you'd want something like that for long-term, highway use. One of the recommended uses is for drag-race only cars, to help warm oil more quickly.

Thought so
Do you know if yours has a windage tray as well? Or is it assumed no, based on that pan design, which probably makes it unnecessary?
Nope no windage tray on the narrow opening...later versions were more open.around the pickup, and I don't think they had a tray either.

Do you find it surprising there's such a variance between it and what's sold here?
The commodores and it's varietals in oz had the sump volume ahead of the fron axle line, in a RWD platform...the sump with wings sitting ahead of the steering rack allowed additional cooling I would say (phase 4 gtho falcons with the Cleveland had winged front sumps back in the 70s)
Being pretty low slung, front sump, they had to make them wide and shallow

The approach here for the Windsor engines was a double-hump pan. I find it quite interesting that you guys took such a dramatically different route.
