oil pan and windage tray

[dustya_383]

wats a good oil pan to use for my 410 stroker in my duster, also can i use a stock windage tray with the increased stroke??? do i need a windage tray??? but would like a good lookin pan thanks not necessarily a $350 milodon pan but a nice new pan

I use stock ones with fatory trays for street engines. I run ARP studs and enlarge the holes in the tray, and I open up the escape flaps to 3/8". You will need to carefully fit the tray and pan. It's close but they clear fine even with factory (large w/rod bolts and nuts) connecting rods.

I'm using a Kevco pan on my 408, no windage tray. It is an OEM pan with a additional sump and baffles added. I went with it because it added capacity and not much depth, so clearance to the ground is still good.

is that rear sump or center sump for the 360?? or does it matter, its a 91 block.

Center sump, I have pictures of it over here. My stroker is based on a 94 Magnum block, so our engines are close date wise.

Heres the thing with windage trays. There good to use and will clear most stroker combos. The rod ends are the issue. Perhaps a minor massage with a hammer is a worst case senario.

IF you go with a deep pan, it's really not needed since the oil level is dropped.

IF you use a stoke pan, a windage tray is a good idea.
The Kevco pan is really nice from what I have seen. It isn't deep, so a windage tray could very well be used.

Personally, I use 8 qt Milodon pan on my 360 without a windage tray for the reasons outlined by rumblefish. But I do use a crank scraper. They have a nice finish and are a little bit shallower than Moroso. As for cost, it depends which you want/need. Their 7 qt. offers more ground and header clearance but is more expensive. They have an OEM version that is baffled also.

Certain pans are not compatible with certain headers. I have TTI headers that clear the 8 qt Milodon but most other ones won't. I believe they solved that issue with their new 7 qt. pans. But with TTI's you have plenty of ground clearance and don't need the 90* filter adapter, along with several other advantages.

A windage tray is nice to have but from what I have read you only gain 7-10 horsepower.

Free hp

Free hp

I don't care if its just 1HP, if its like "free" for just installing the tray why not use it? (if you have the extra cash for the tray--new main bolts or studs are a good idea on a rebuild anyhow)

It's not really free last time I priced a tray with bolts and pan gasket it was a 100 bucks.
