Default stroker/windage tray interference

i am getting ready to swap out my 6.0 for the 403 i built, and use a caddy CTS pan setup-i have heard there sometimes is an interference problem with a stroker-should be obvious, but is it the throws or the rods that hit-i'll ck everything, but curious what areas to look at-also, is their a dipstick problem,
thought i had heard of that also
thanks

You will need to shim the windage tray down with a couple flat washers to clear the aftermarket stroker components.

I shimmed and even reformed the metal in a couple places.

Yes, it will move the tube. Bend the tube as needed to get the pickup to pan clearance about 3/8"-1/2".
