[Mgs] Performance oil systems

[Max Heim]

Usually a solution involves a higher-capacity pan (usually extended wider
rather than deeper becasue of clearance issues), with a windage tray and
baffles (often hinged baffles). I'd look for a race car fabricator/shop,
since I doubt there is an off-the-shelf kit for this engine.
