Stock Pan, Quaife diff, ratio is track dependant of course.

Stock Pan, LS diff, ratio is track/tire size dependant of course.

No need for any additional baffles? Accusump?

Fred.
I use the stock pan and no Accusump, unlike my e-30 that required all of the above and then some.

For diff I use 3.6 with reshimmed stock LSD. With 16" wheels.

Stock pan, baffled, 1 extra quart of oil.
Quaife with whatever ratio works best (3.64).
Fluidyne radiator, no fan.

If you've got money to burn I'm sure I could find something...

Check out VAC Motorsports website, they have E36 oil pan baffles. No affiliation.
