Default oil system question
I am ordering parts for my 383 stroker and am wondering what kind of oil pan I will need to clear the stroke or will a stock one work? moroso has one that clears 3.8" that I am looking at.Also do I need a high volume oil pump?the pickup will depend on the oil pan I know

Here's a thread that was started a couple of days ago about what pans people recommend for 383 stroker engines. Hope this helps:
