1968 440 oil pan and gasket question

[DocMel]

I just removed the oil pan off my 1968 date coded 440:   

Besides the oil pan gasket that came off, there was also what appears to me, a metal gasket that is also part of a crankshaft splash shield or what some might call, a crankshaft oil scraper  (This shield also has a small slot in it to allow the oil pick up tube to run thru it):   If this is some sort off oil scraper, this is is also part something I havent seen in awhile, and only have seen in higher revving engines 

Is this "splash shield/scraper gasket", something common seen in 440's?:   Its not a built motor;  This shield/gasket got wrecked removing the oil pan, and since I dont have a hi po engine, Id like to consider running without tif possible, and just reinstall the oil pan with a regular oil pan gasket

You should retain the windage tray inside and use the 2 gaskets to get the proper oil pick up clearance from the bottom of the oil pan.

Just researched and found this:
Windage tray and 2 pan gaskets must be used for proper pickup clearance.

Trays aren't much and they add a few horses.

Thanks TC:  Thats exactly what I have:  A windage tray:  (For the life of me, I couldnt remember the right terminology)   Ill get another and 2 gaskets

you can get a new tray & two gaskets from Mopar for less than the cost of of the two gaskets aftermarket
 Definatly reinstall it , I use Right Stuff sealant to prevent leaks
