Need Windage Tray and the Crank is Keyed

Hey i need to order a stock windage tray for a stock pan. I looked on the parts stores websites with no luck. Where can I get a stocker nothing special? The new engine I got too was rebuilt from a 93 and it has a keyed crank are the hubs different on the 93s or what?

My 95 stock crank is keyed; GM just didn't machine a key slot in the crankshaft hub.

So I just need to take the keyway off the crank then and get a 93 hub. Anyone know where i can get the windage tray at?

No need to remove a "keyway", there's nothing to remove. A Woodruff key (small metal piece) is used to key the crank to the hub if both the crank and hub have a keyway. Again the stock GM parts didn't have keyed crank hubs therefore there isn't a woodruff key installed.

Ya need to leave the key for the crank timing gear and remove the key for the hub.
Be aware that some had a stepped down key in the timing gear slot.
Your balancer hub should work if it is balanced like a factory engine.
Go to the junk yard and get a baffle.
