Oil pan with stroker kit question

[Ralphy]

If I'm not mistaken, at Summit's site. Check that, a Summit's site they are rated for stoker clearance. Not trying to plug anybody, just remembered from searching.

I'm also sure Barry and Brent know from experience!

Bad data in the Summit ad.

Maximum stroke with OE rod is stated at 4.125. Ever see an FE OE rod in a 4.125 stroked engine? Me neither. Maybe some guys were doing it back in the 60s but not anymore. All of the common strokers use a BBC rod and that pan will clear a 4.25 stroke without a problem... The pan companies all use a factory clone steel oil pan and then cut it to fit the sump chosen.

Thanks for the replies. I have the 511 stroker kit or 4.36 or .37??? stroke crankshaft-i dont have the data written down in front of me right now, so please feel free to correct.

Anyway, for 75.00 more, i might as well add a windage tray. I thought they were more expensive.

While i am at it.

Oil pump recommendations
I dont want to bring up the age old debate of standard vs high volume, but i am going to do it anyway. High volume pump or standard?

Actually, i am looking on summit now and i only see one which is a standard volume pump

Thanks and please excuse my ignorance, this is my first FE motor.

I'd use the high volume pump. M-57HV

Also, with the windage tray, make sure you check that it doesn't interfere with the drain hole in the rear cap.
