Yes im sure. The windage tray has been cut short to clear the oil pan so it leaves the number 1 and 2 rod bolts exposed. (From my old ls6) so when I put the windage tray on and bolt the pan on.. rotate to check clearances. It hits the pan. It put a knick in the pan

The stock pan has issues with oil control. Pick up tube placement is bad. The Moroso alum pan is really nice and fixes these issues.
