MAST LS3 Stroker Windage Tray/Oil Pan Hitting
Help!
I'm trying to put a Mast LS3 windage tray on my LS3 Stroker. The site says instructions included, but they did not put any in the box.
The pan will not sit on the block with the Mast windage tray. It fits fine with the stock windage tray, but the pickup was a little too close to the bottom of the pan (due to the washers/spacers).
I'm assuming that the center ribs in the oil pan need to be removed to clear the tray, but before I start cutting things I figured I ask here.
Thanks,
RGKSR

Must be the C5Oil Pan
I guess the C5 oil pan is different. I've got a 00 FRC and the motor is an ERL 454.. I'll try and call Mast in the morning.

ON the vette pans you typically have to machine down the fins/ribs in the bottom of the pan on stroker applications. this is with any windage tray when you space them down on these pans not just the Mast ones.

I'm having the same issue with my Mast Windage tray. It doesn't clear the rod bolts. I'm pissed off because this Windage tray is supposed to be the cure for stroker motors and its Ben a giant flipping headache. Any advice on this?
