Oil Pan Recommendations
Looking at oil pans. I have a SBC 383 and need a 7 or 8 quart pan. It needs to be no deeper than 7 1/4" at the sump. I have one that has kickouts and it is 14" wide at the rear sump so it hits my headers. Looking at this one.

Do you think this one will work?
Any other suggestions or proven ones that will work?

You could try a Transdapt #3047 oil pan, I had one in my 72 LT-1 but had leakage issues. Hopefully issues are solved by now, pretty decent pan for the $$$ and good design for oil control. I use Canton pans now but not as happy with oil control in the Canton pan I presently use. Summit has them, here is a link to TD; http://www.tdperformance.com/TransDapt.html

Take a look at Champ pans ... you probably won't see their RR pans on their site but they have em www.champpans.com ... also check out www.cvproducts.com (they sell champ & others). If you have a welder & KNOW what you're doing ... you can mod a circle pan for RR/street ... you fab&add a gate to right side & use a center PU.
