Default Need oil pan recommendation for 496

I'm looking for a BB 496 stroker oil pan that fits the Corvette chassis (1973). Prefer a stock-appearing pan that holds the usual 5-6 quarts. No interest in a pan with kick-outs etc.

Thanks!

My stock one worked well for my 498.

The LS-7 pan was a good one. If you're going to turn that stroker any RPM at all you better think about a better one. The Milodon 31188 will fit...we've used several on C-3's and C-2's with 540's 555's, 598's and 632's. It's a fantastic simple pan that flat works.

Thanks. I have an LS-7 pan. It's this one:

I'll mock it up,..see if it clears. If not, I'll try the Milodon.
