I do not see how the fins would help from the pictures. If
I am looking at the pictures correctly the oil level is still flush with the
bottom of the pan. If the fins where hollow (outside of pan) then it would
provide three surface cooling in the air flow for each row of fins. These would
have to drain to a lower level in the pan for the pickup or they would just trap
oil. I do not see how fins inside the pan would help at all. I may be
missing something here.

Or, you could spend the same amount of money
and order a custom aluminum finned oil pan from Perry Mick (yes, it is
finned both inside and outside).
See pics. Paul

The finned pan is another one of those ideas
that absolutely must work, but leaves a big question of just how much good it
does. I have to admit that I've been trying to figure a way to
put an oil/water cooler in the new pan, or maybe some fins...

cooler)
