What are the baffles for and are the a good choice I know what the splash pan does it keeps oil from splashing the intake thus keeping it cooler so Im trying to find one that I can put in without having to remove the lifters. But what about the baffles that keep oil from draining onto the cam area

Are you talking about a valley pan? I don't think they make them for small blocks. When I put in my new 350 crate engine I couldn't find anyone that sells them. I have a valley pan in my 472 caddy and my 351C torino though.

The valley pan serves two purposes, to keep hot oil off of the bottom of the intake runners, and prevents lifters from jumping out if a push rod gets bent etc. A lifter jumping out, which isn't too common except maybe on race engines, leaves the oil gallery wide open where the lifter was. Oil pressure goes south etc....
