Question Just thought about this... Will I need to notch my oil Pan for...

.... my stroker build? The crank has a 4.125 stroke and the rods are a standard 6.125, the block is a LQx.

I've done some searching and haven't found anything; not sure if that's a good thing, or if it's due to the fact that not many here are running a 4.125/6.125 combo.

Thanks guys!

You will have to make sure you clearance the windage tray for the rod bolts. Typically on our stroker builds we recommend some 5/16 washers on the studs for the tray, usually 3-4 gets it done for a 4" stroke. I would also check the pan and make sure there is enough clearance for the rods there as well. Sometimes we have had to grind on the oil pans a little bit to get them to fit.

Well the stroke on my Callie magnum crank is a 4.125 and the Callie rods are a 6.125 so I guess clearance will need to be made for the 4.125 if you are doing it for a 4".

Also can you please have Jon reply to my numerous PMs that I have sent regarding this build.

Thanks!

I had to use washers on the tray, and grind the pan a little near the front, but some pans are different

Awesome guys, I appreciate all the help! I just hope the builder knows his stuff when it comes to the little things like this.

BTW- does Moroso or any A/M Co. sell pans that will work?
