408 Stroker windage tray

**Dr.Crash** · 04-16-2009, 08:03 PM

So the problem i have is that the rod bolts are hitting the windage tray on the new motor. so can i just put some washers between the windage tray and the block, or is there some other way? Thanks in advance for the input.

here are some pics of the new toy!!!!

yes it takes two flat washers like the ones that come with the arp head bolts/studs ,you dont have the stud girdle?if so it comes with this stuff,i have all this and it fits under the stock ls2 GTO oil pan.

damn looks like I was slow on the draw, but I'll just confirm it. Yes you need spacers. The washers you chose are perfect. Good luck with the rest of the install.

i ended up notching the windage tray (cut holes) where the rods hit.

sounds like your going in the right direction,any washer that spaces it away from the hitting rod bolts should do the trick.best of luck.heres a shot of the stud girdle i spoke of ,the spacers go ontop of it then the factory windage tray bolts to the studs,
