stock windage tray, arp studs?
About to put my 357 in my '87 vette, and was in the middle of swapping oil pans from the fbody pan to the vette pan and realized the stock vette pan has a windage tray. My ARP main studs have no standoff's for the windage tray, and I'd hate to take the 19 year old 3 studs out of the stock engine. Have any of you had success with a perticular part # ARP stud for the stock windage tray, that gave it the propper height without clearance problems?
Thanks!

I know you'r afraid to unbolt the stud from a 19 years engine
...or you can buy a pan with a windage tray built in.
Canton (the only one I know and I have...) has pans with the windage tray not appended to the stock studs, but bolted in the pan.

I have some aftermarket oil pans with windage trans built in, but I honestly like this stock vette pan.
