What windage tray you guys using with the ARP main studs? There are too many studs sticking up for the stock one to fit. and some holes dont line up.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

If memory serves me correctly, you need to use the solid windage tray. You can get it from any GM parts house.... Jim Pace, Sallee and so on.
Check out page 3 of this .pdf file, http://www.s-series.org/htm/tech/GMP...ts/082-086.pdf

That flat windage tray shown there... nothing too eciting about it... is the one you need.

Damn, I saw an online article a while back where they used that same tray on an LT1..... I'll try to find it real quick.

edit: Here's the article, http://www.corvettefever.com/howto/36501/

Just make sure to check with the GM guys to see if that is really the one you need. This is just stuff I remember reading so take it as that.... no actual experience here. My pan has the tray built in.

Good luck.

damn, thanks man!



did they use the first or second one on page 3? cause the second one looks exactly like the stock one... ill take some pics tuesday of where the bolts hit and stuff.

mindgame, you think i made out good on the shortblock? forged 4340 eagle crank/forged 4340 hbeam rods/srp pistons/machine work/balancing/mill heads and fix guides / all the small stuff, arp main studs

all for 2864

What is that gasket called? i think i forgot to get that lol

 

The oem tray takes 3 studs. It's ok to cut off those you don't need. Sure beats not having enuf, right? Tray used will depend on the pan used.

 

you dont need to cut em just put the studs where they are needed and the extra long ones where they are out of the way i think there is 5 i put one behind my oil pump and one infront of the tray they will clear the oil pan just fine

 

Like t*ts on a boar hog, if not needed, they are gone! Didn't state you had to, just that it is ok.

 

That gasket usually comes with the rear main seal and housing....mine did atleast.
