Stroker oilpan

340GTSDart said

A question for you guys running these strokers, can you run a stock oil pan and not have a clearance problem with the connecting rods? I don't know if the bottoms of the cylinders are the only place to be clearanced, or if the oil pan rail needs it also. Thanks, just also curious about this as I decide which route to go with my 340.

No clearance problems with a stock pan, at least for a 360/408.

I run a Milodon 8qt and am unhappy with it. Poor R&D forces you to notch your K-member in one area. I've heard of persons having to make two notches.

No instructions warning you about this were provided, you just figure it out when you put the engine it. Pissed me off.

And no, you don't need a windage tray, it's just recommended. Having a stock or 8qt pan will make not difference in the windage tray recommendation.
