    Vortec swap in 87

    I built a 383 stroker for my 97 and decided to ditch that project. Im going to put that engine in my 87 k10.

    windage tray with stroker

    Will it hurt to leave it off? The ARP main studs aren't long enough to clear the rod bolts without them contacting the tray. This is the only engine I have built with a windage tray so I doubt it is a necessity seeing as we have high horsepower motors without them. What is the function of it?
