Pretty much all of the oil pans will clear the stroker cranks with no problem. Windage trays are a nice deal for splash control under acceleration, but do not add any power - at least on the dyno. I generally install them in customer engines as a form of insurance.

The Canton try will clear the strokers, the Ford tray might need some gentle tweaking, the old Moroso tray hits everything but has been redesigned and might be OK now. The Milodon tray will hit the box it's shipped in unless trimmed a bunch - they are aware and should be making changes.

Most tray need clearancing around the various oil pump pickups and many need to have dipstick clearance added as well - check BEFORE intalling the pan....I've seen dipsticks curl up against the tray and hit the crank.

I prefer the Moroso pans for insexpensive T types - The color is easier on the eyes, and both the fit and welding seems better than the Canton stuff. The Aviad is very correct and a nice piece as well.
