Default 427 stroker what oil pan???????

I was excited to put my 427 on my k member today and the oil pan is hitting windage tray any ideas or experience?. Or does anyone know of a pan that will clear tray and k member???

Canton may make one or check with someone like Mast but I don't think your going to save anything. I know I just built a 427 and 600 for an oil pan made my butt pucker. Then I found out my head studs were 400. $1,000 for studs and an oil pan. Needless to say I am well over the projected budget I had. It'll be worth it when it fires to life for the first time. The moroso pan is a work of art for a pan and u get a new windage tray and pickup tube also.

Why don't u just shim/trim your current Windage tray and use your original sump, just make sure that the pickup tube doesn't bottom out.

we got it after many hours of grinding and banging . and test fitting and refitting until it worked. I have had to tweak alot of small things here and there. thanks for the replies guys
