i need to get this figured out today!
built a forged 357

scat 4340 crank (not a stroker crank)
eagle 6" h beam rods
arp studded mains (factory length)
Stock Oil Pan/Pump

with the longer rods or whatever my connecting rods are hitting my windage trey, my studs aren't long enough to hang the trey as low as it needs to be. i really don't want to notch it, but can't find any local speed shops that have a trey that will work...
advice please!!! i'm in a bind, need to get this done today!
thanks
-Jason

 

Same problem on a friends car, your lucky you found it before the motor was running in the car. Nothing like a new motor making a funny noise.

Hammer fixed ours pretty good, there is no such thing as a bad fix if it fixes it. well maybe but you get the point

 

Jason, I had to leave mine off. Later bought a nice Canton pan, made the same power as the stocker with no tray. Evidently not a big deal. Ran it a long time with the stock pan & no tray. Had no problems at all. Had a lot of trick oil pans over the years, never saw much gain.

Good luck, Ed

 

Cand you add a washer on each stud and gain enough clearance?

 

yeah I would just order up a canton. No need for a windage tray on acanton but I wouldnt recommend not using one on the stocker although it may be fine i wouldnt do it after I just spent money on my bottom end

 

i ended up ordering a miloiden windage trey.
there was no room for the stock one.
why don't u guys use windage treyes? your crank will aireate your oil, and ever heard of crank rope? windage treys help alot!
