I am building my 388 ci LT1 and I am trying to get some main bolts that will work with my windage tray or oil baffle, I am needing to keep the baffle on my car so if anyone knows let me know because I have checked summit. THanks

 

I went through this situation when building my motor. I think we tried swapping to some 400 small block style main studs with the windage tray extensions already on the studs. Don't quote me on this because it's been a while.

I ended up not liking how it all fit together and just bought a Canton 242t pan with the baffling and scraper already in it.

 

Do you think I could get away with using the stock crank bolts with my 388?

 

Also I don't even think that the crank will clear this baffle, It may hit it anyways so I may just have to get a regular set of the ARP bolts, because the stock crank it really clost to the baffle too.

 

Doesnt Milodon make a set? Part Number MIL -81150?

 

Im stock stroke and i had like other members said use a few studs from a 400 because the windage tray smaller section is longer.I had this problem and did a search on it an saw when i ran into this problem guys with stroker motor couldnt use the stock tray because the rods hit it.Might check into it

 

Are you talking about main bolts? I wouldn't recommend it. I had enough problems with the stock windage tray with a stock stroke crank and Eagle H-beams that I ditched the setup. If you want to get the pan that I was talking about above, you can just use normal ARP main studs without windage tray provisions.

 

yep...that's what I used to mount a milodon double diamond windage tray.

They are ARP bolts as far as I can tell. Nuts all have ARP stamped on them and it is rated to the same tensile strength as the ARP main studs. Torgue to 65 foot pounds with oil.
