Default WINDAGE TRAY ?

Is there a windage tray that clears a 4.75 crank ?

Not that I know of, so your down to shimming on the main caps and then stacking Pan gaskets with lots-O- silicone gasket maker!

I wouldn't bother with one. Get a good baffled pan instead, like the Morroso. We quit using windage trays here quite a few years ago, and use much better oil pans instead. In addition, the factory windage trays are prone to cracking, so if you do use one, get a thicker and better made aftermarket unit instead.......Cliff

You might want to check how far the wrist pin pulls out of the bottom of the bore with a 4.75" crank.

I'll take a closer look at it when I get the pan off to re-gasket it.

There is none on it now Cliff, I'm using a MR-1 block and wondered if there was one out there.

Like I just told Cliff I'm using a MR-1 block and I will check when I get the pan off. Thanks.
