Not sure of the difference, but the 505 stroker we are doing now seems to have slightly more clearance than my old 505. Only difference is H-Beam Rods vs. I-Beam Rods?
On my 400 block stroked to 500", windage tray clearance was easy because I'm using a main cap girdle which lowers the windage tray the thickness of the girdle.

I have Scat H-beam rods. The crank is 4.15 stroke and rod length is 6.76 and I haven't compared the rod end to a stock Mopar rod.
So I'm not sure if a 4.15 windage tray will clear or if I should go to a steel 4.25 tray.
