Windage tray for standard small block pan????
Is there such a thing? OR, can a windage tray for the 6 quart be modified to fit? If so, will it work with a 383 stroker crank?

I use the curved (early Z28 style) in my SB400 engines (SAME stroke as a 383). On SOME stock pans which have a baffle spot welded in, I have found it necessary to set the pan on the block with the studs in place, move it around to scratch marks on the baffle and then drill holes (front holes only) in the pan baffle for the studs to fit into.
This is actually a 383 (no center freeze plug) that's in my 51 Chevy.
Before I switched to useing the curved windage tray, I used to use the flat tray. The 400 crank would kiss the tray, so I simply massaged it gently with a hammer for the needed clearance.

Thanks!! That is what I needed to know. It will save me the expense of the 6 quart pan and still give me a windage tray.
