Big Block Windage Tray Question - 04/27/13 04:27 PM
This MP windage tray
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dcc-4120998/overview/make/dodge is labeled for use with center sump oil pans. Any reason it wouldn't work with a rear sump truck oil pan?

Wouldn't the center sump pan have a different location for the pickup? If so, the opening in the tray for the pickup tube would also be different that a rear-sump?

I guess am looking at it like a smallblock windage tray. It works on both center and rear sump pans. Only difference is the shape of the oil pickup tube.

I don't think you can use the tray with the truck pan it might be to shallow? i read that same place.

Why would you want the MP piece.Unless you modify it they dont drain well.I bought one and it sits in the garage.I went Milidon.Better piece.Rocky

Good point Rocky. I am going to order the Milidon tray and just do any notching or relieving needed to install the pickup tube. I doubt it will need any though. This is my first venture into BB territory so I am a little cautious I guess. Thanks to everyone for their input.

When I was building my stroker I bought the MP tray and I had to beat and ding it pretty good to get the clearance I wanted
I ended giving the 440 Source tray a look and I was rewarded with a tray that fits perfect with only minor trimming around the pick-up
Very nice part
