Another windage tray question
« on: June 14, 2014, 10:09:36 PM »
I bought the new Canton louvered windage tray 20-938P.



I figured since it was advertised as "new" that it would clear a stroker crank. But after mocking it up on a stock 390 short block I'm not so sure. 
Has anybody used this windage tray on a 4.250 or 4.375 stroke FE yet?

Cool, I like that tray.  Louvers are a lot better than those screens, IMO.  When I've had clearance problems with pans like that (the Moroso pan is similar), I've just cut those little straps, bent the pan back enough to clear, and then welded some spacers metal in the gap.  Not an insurmountable problem or anything...

Don't have the louvered version, but I did install Canton's screened version of this tray in my 445.  Stroke is at 4.250", had zero clearance issues, ended up doing some trimming for the dipstick and that was about it.

The screen ones are a bolt on.
The louvered ones are much better than the Moroso for fit - but do take a bit of effort.
