 I'm almost talking myself out ofchanging main cap bolts to studs until later on . Instead of installing windage tray on the studs  if I figured out exactly where the tray would line up in the pan to just clear the crank could I just weld the windage tray inside the pan instead like I have seen or is there a reason there on the main cap studs. It would sure simplify things. Does anyone see a reason for not doing this.....................motorhome6   

by the way had the MT valve covers polished ....they look awesome

   I'm glad were talking windage tray here cause I'm also doing a windage tray install   Dooley 14 qt pan and tray . I just purchased an ARP stud kit for a BBC it has 10 studs in kit  6 of them are 41/2 long and 4 are  4 1/2 long  w/ a 1 1/2 step down in size making them total of 6 " long  I take it the step down is for the windage tray mount  all though my windage tray has more mount holes than 4 I think 7. I haven't pulled the pan yet but I'm assuming its a 2 bolt main  and maybe the tray is for a 4 bolt main? The directions say to check main bearing bores for out of round condition after changing to the high strenght studs and line bore if necessary. My plan was to pull the bolts out of 1 main cap and torque the studs without removing the cap and disturbing the bearings. Am I way off base thinking about doing that . Do I need to pull the crank and have it checked for out of round after changing to studs . I'm sure that would be the ultimate way but how necessary is it . Does everyone do this. I don't want to ruin my motor . What are you guys doing when you install studs and windage tray.  Thanks for your help       

i need to get to my storage and see if they will fit between my seats and sides of hull  thanks
