Windage tray with 3.75" stroke crank?

Is it possible to run a windage tray with a 3.75 stroke crank? I have the arp main studs with the windage tray attachment thingy, and the crank comes all the way up to the very top of the stud.

so i dont think i can run one? how about crank scrapers? do those work similar to the windage tray? same idea?

you dont happen to have any pics do you? cause the crank comes all the way up to the top of the stud

by both you mean windage tray and scraper? i thought having both those were counteractive cause the scraper will drop oil on the tray where the crank can pic kit up again?

what kinda tray is that? part number would be killer! and do you have the arp main studs? is it one of the milodon 80 dollars ones?

does the crank scraper just sit on the pan rail and get held down by the oil pan studs/bolts?

are you running stock oil pan? looks like you are!

I just built a new motor with a 3.75 stroke just like 96z has. I used the same tray but have modified it some. The tray had been clearanced on the sides of it so that the rods will not hit the tray. It turned out great. I am selling my because I decided to go with a canton oil pan. The tray was never used and i'm selling it. Let me know if you are interested.

dude its a PITA this SAME EXACT thing happened to me! you cant put the tray back in the stock location like it was when the motor was stock! you know what i mean how the very back of the tray hole goes above the oil pump! we tried that and like you the studs werent long enough! so we were going to try to move the tray FORWARD ONE CAP basically you would have the 3 MAIN CAPS RIGHT! well on the last cap the one closest to the oil pump you would put ONE windage tray stud, then on the middle cap you would have NONE then on the second one from the front you would have the TWO OTHER windage tray studs! but the tray sat too close to the rods so this didnt work for me either! i actually ended up NOT running the tray and i havent had

Andrew,

If you haven't sold the windage tray yet let me know, I will buy it. If you have sold it please let me know who made it, part number would be great too.

Thanks
