360 windage tray
Hey Rumblefish -
I agree with you, but you missed the decimal point placement in your math. The difference in stroke is 0.270" total; 0.270"/2 = 0.135" - just over 1/8".
HOLY Moly! Thank you!!!!!!!! What was I thinking...or not as the case may be..... Great, can't spell, half blind while doing math....it makes me wonder who I do what I do...he he he.
Thanks.
Rapid Robert, as long as it's all stock, I can't see an issue. I have not been there and done that on a stroker, so he who has been there can comment on it and I wouldn't mind seeing one on it.

Rumble, thanks for the advice and backing it up with numbers. I know what the tray was designed to do.
Sorry, I tend to speak/type as if the poster hasn't been there and such. It makes more sense to the reader that hasn't been there done that. No insult ment, I know you know.
Sometimes, restating it is not only for a newbie bennifit, but also to sure up and make the position or thought process clear and known.
My only concern is not getting enough oil to the cylinder walls. I am correct in assuming that the oil splashes up into the cylinders to aid lubrication right?
Oil may splash up, but it has to make it's way past the crank. Some of it hitting the crank and slowing it down. Thus the tray for power...(OK, No DUH!)
Oil for the walls comes from the crank as it passes past the bearings and get flung onto the walls. Oil from the lifter galley also hits the crank to get splashed back up.
No oiling mods are needed for most builds. High RPM is more trouble thank stroke will ever be on oiling.
