Do you mean the windage tray? Depending on the amount of interference, any way you can put some washers behind it and space it out? Alternately, there might be some people out there that can tell you what studs that might work.

You need somemore nuts and washers, what you have to do is install your rods and pistons then add nuts to the stud so that the windage tray will sit on them and clear the rotating assembly.
