Title: Windage tray question
Post by: Fine69mach1 on June 14, 2014, 06:09:30 PM

Does anyone know if a windage tray will fit with a stock 390 oil pan with a 4.125 stroke crank.?
Any suggestions if not?
Thanks

I don't think the pan will be a problem but if your windage tray is the factory one it's going to be close.

Pretty sure with the 4.125" crank that the stock FE windage tray will fit.  I've had 4.25" stroke engines fit with the stock windage tray and no mods, although I've heard other people had problems with that combination.  In any case, its not a big deal to cut a slot or two into the factory windage tray if you need clearance for the rod bolts.  There won't be any block or pan clearance issues.
