FIRST make sure it’s leaking there ....
Then ADD a windage tray if it doesn’t have one ....
AND ... you can make that ADDING A TRAY lots easier you ever done this before WITH a windage tray?

Hi, Yes, this is possible. I've done it on a 1972 Road Runner with a 400. As mentioned, the center link needs to be disconnected at one point and moved out of the way, doesn't need to be removed. Here's a link to the one-piece windage tray I used: https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/502000/10002/-1Was it easy? Not completely but I've seen worse. Good luck, Mike.

Ok thanks evryone, I think i'm going to try it, just ordered that one piece tray. Jegs says for use with a flat pan rail like a fabricated pan would have. Here is a picture of the gasket/tray and a picture of a typical stock type stamped steel pan rail. Good luck with that. Maybe you could fill the stiffening beads in the pan rails with epoxy so that the ribs in the gasket would have something to seal against.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I was thinking of using that molded gasket that incorporates the windage tray. It would easier than trying to piece a tray and two gaskets. I believe those are designed to be reuseable, if so then tie each hole in the gasket to the pan using thread and install it. I will make your life so much easier.

I see your point about the stiffening beads, Summit site does not say the same as the Jegs site
