Would this pan fit a 4.25" stroke crankshaft? I asked Avaiad but no response.

Because the pickup trap in the middle of the pan won't allow oil in the rear to drain forward, and vice versa. There should also be a drain plug in the rear of the pan on one side to drain the rear half. That's how the road racing pan for my 460 is built.
