I was wondering if anyone had anymore scources for aftermarket oil pans... high capacity with a windage tray like the ones mike sold... but apparently doesnt anymore? any help would be appreciated
As far as I know, nobody else makes them. I have talked to a few different places, like Armandos, but they want an arm and a leg, plus you have to supply the stock pan. IIRC, they wanted $275-300, plus the pan and shipping both ways. 
The problem we have getting them from OZ, is that the US200 style pans are very rare over there. The OZ250 pans are wider, so they don't work. I can still get them made, but would need to ship pans over, have them modified, then have them shipped back. But the shipping cost isn't that cheap either. I did talk to one place when we were at SEMA this past fall, but haven't gotten a price from them yet. I'll see if I can push them a little. Rich is also looking into some custom fabricated ones, but they too will be pricy.

Every Aussie Falcon since 1961 to 1967 had US style oil pans. There were only around 270 000 six cylinder Falcons made then, and a small fraction remain.
I have a collection of 200 crank pans, but one is for my 66 Falcon engine.
The one time invetment of a big press for a sump makes it uneconomic unless you pressing out a few hundred a year, so your stuff seraching car yards for old excahnge pieces. The way some charge, the economics may improve a little if your making them.
The best bet is to do what High Energy In Australia do. Grab a stock pan on exchange, and have a specialist weld in a new section. All import pans from Australia incorporate a '155 bucks on exchange' price deal, which is simply very hard to do when your in the US, and they are in Australia.
The best option is making a domestic cut and shut job fitting the bigger Mustang V8 style baffles to the stock existing US 200 setting. There is a lot of space in the Mustang and Falcon bay in the front and the cross memeber area. I remember seeing Briggs and Straton fuel tanks being welded in with lots of sucess. The baffles and windage trays could be cut economically and added into the stock sumps.

I've got a pan, and at this point I'm considering doing it myself as far as the sump goes... but the windage tray I am a little concerned about, I understand it's going to have to be custom fitted anyway but does anyone have any basic dimentions, like from one of the high energy pans maybe? So I wouldnt have to do it from absolute scratch. From the pictures I've seen it looks like a piece of sheet metal with louvers welded in. Just trying to protect my investmant here Thanks again for the help.
