Clearance needed between windage tray & crank??? I'm about to put the windage tray on this motor we are building and I want to know what is a safe clearance between the eagle 4.00" crank and the tray?
I also noticed three of the holes in the tray are smaller than the studs (ARP) and they are oval instead of just round. I plan on opening them up with a uni bit.

Just tell pat to call me.
OK guys, this thing hits big time. I marked all the places. The bottom of it cam be hammered out, but the sides are going to need a little more clearancing. Were the louvers are on the sides, it hit's pretty good and I tryed hammering it out but it still hits.
Would it be ok to cut small windows in it were the rod can swing up through there?

I should have. It would of looked better. I beat the **** out of it until it cleared. It's ugly but functional.
I also had to grind on the oil pan on the frt were the rod swings up against it. I think it may be a little thin there were the dip is. But I was thinking about having a buddy tig the bottom of it right there for strength.
ARP said the washers were not needed with the (newer bolt kit) what ever....
I snapped some pics of it. I'll get them up later. Time to get cleaned up for dinner..

Hook a brotha up on some tickets...
I would love to spend a week or two there some time.Ok I uploaded the pics from today. WARNING! The windage tray is ugly, lol. But it seams to clear fine. I test fitted it witk the pan and pick up tube.
Check out the pan, it has been cut to fit this mustangs K member. Also the pick up tube has been moved back, due to this modification.

Hey, another thing. I have this T rex cam. It came with the car and dave said he bought it used of this board. It just has the gring #'s on the end of it. So I don't have the specific info on it. But I installed the sproket straight up. Do you think I would gain anything by going + or -? I plan on spraying this combo the second year around. But will be all motor the first year.
Here is a thread I had with the grind #'s. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...262&highlight=

This cam did not come with a card. I will talk to my man, helping me and see if we can find a degree wheel. I would like to see how that works any way.

I was about to cut it, but decided to see after the big hammer mod. My arp stud kit did not come with washers. I called them and they said they were not needed.
