IIRC thstone has a thread indicating the same, so I’m anticipating a ‘custom fitting’ session.

Ok, I wanted to add a tip to all the good advise you already got..
If you cut off the head off 3-4 extra bolts (now studs..), you can use them to align the oil pan with the engine block during the final installation, this way you will not be making a mess with the sealant by moving the cover around.
If you cut a slot on the headless bolt (with a dremel tool), you can use a small flat screw driver to remove them from the engine and replace them with the correct bolt for final torque.
Hopefully my explanation makes sense, good luck!

I know this is a late comment but. Running Watkins Glen this is a good idea to replace this baffle and add the LN extension. When I was a novice there I smoked turn 6 two times. You can get G's on 3 axis in that turn Braking down hill, compression as you change from downhill to slight up hill out of turn, and radial G's of the left turn.

Thanks jsceash, parts are in. I’ll wait until my spring oil change to install everything. I’ll probably do the CNY 48 Hours of Watkins Glen this season so good to know the car will be prepped even if I’m not
