Default Oil pan recommendation

Looking for a kick-out rail oil pan that will fit a C3 with a stroker motor.

Thanks.

Kickout pan rail or sump kickout? Sump kickouts do nothing to help with windage, pan rail kickouts do everything to prevent windage.

Chris posted some excellent oil pans.

In a typical you can use something like a main cap extended stud diamond scraper. if you have a stock block with big rods you have to hog the lower pan rails on the forward cylinders for big 6 inch rod bolts. Chris showed some HP gaining pans. I

Yes, looking for something with kicked out rails and sump. Not sure I am crazy about extended studs. Interferes with torquing the caps. Would prefer a pan mounted windage system.

I was hoping that Chris would show the trick pans, but anyway you might talk to these guys. The 1092# looks interesting.
