Question for 383 guys
My motor is about done! Latest problem is that the windage tray in the stock pan does not even come close to fitting the strocker crank. Was gonna just leave it off. What did YOU do?

get one of these and space it about 1/8" from the rotateing assembly, washers on the studs can be used

I was looking at this earlier this evening. (while stuffing my face) Was thrown off when it said "will not fit 400". Did you still use the stock pan? Am trying to keep it a "stealth sleeper". :sleep:

on a 400 block you need to elongate the mounting holes in the windage screen and bend the mounting strip slightly because the 400 has larger main bearings the main cap bolts are spaced slightly further apart, yeah its a minor P.I.T.A. but it can be made to fit correctly, normally yes carefull fitting will allow the stock oil pan to be used (mount the screen about 1/8" from the rotateing assembly if possiable
