Windage Tray Needed?
Hey all,
Bought a 383 and the guy I bought it from studded the main caps. I don't want to lose the strength by going back to those stock bolts in the 3 locations I need to in order to keep the windage tray in place.
Do I need that windage tray? Is there anything cheap and aftermarket available however, I don't want to go that route unless it is absolutely necessary.

Well, if it were my motor I'd make sure to put a windage tray in it. You could swap out the short ARP main studs with 3 long Milodon windage tray studs. The stock tray will fit over most any stroker crank/rod combo. You'll need to bend the tray up and away from the rods a little bit.
Some oil pans already have a good windage tray so if you get the Canton or Moroso or Stef's or Milodon pan then you might get away with not having a tray bolted to the main studs.
In my opinion, the #1 cause of oil starvation is lack of windage control.
