Windage tray modification?

I had to get a new oil pan (Moroso #20142) to fit my subframe, which meant I needed to get a new pickup tube (Moroso #24050). The tube support mounted on the second hole on the top row in the picture of the windage tray I have attached. You can tell because it's indented to ensure the support fits. On the Moroso pickup tube, it mounts to the third hole on the top where there is no indent. It won't mount to that point as is. Is it ok to take just enough material off the windage plate so I can install the support for the pickup tube or is that a bad idea? If it is a bad idea, what other options are there?

Perfectly fine to mod the tray. No worries. I’ve cut up a few myself.

I think I know exactly what you're talking about

I had a holley pick up tube for a early model lm7 windage tray, and the tab for the pickup tube I had to sand down about .125" on both sides to get it to sit flat

So your choice, windage or pickup, or both depending on your situation. Use your judgement
