Spacers for windage tray help

Putting in the 408 and I was told the windage tray needs 1/4" spacers.... Can I get these at a local store or do I order them from somewhere? If someone can tell me exactly what I need I would appreciate it. Thanks

Just get some appropriate sized washers and you should be good to go.

I used 1 flat washer each stud and had enough clearance for the rod bolts on my 4" stroke crank. Just make sure to spin the engine over and check that everything clears.

Smacked my baffle/windage tray with a mallet until clearance happened... don't recall anything special besides that. Stock fbody pickup, pan, trays, gasket, hardware, etc.
