i will get out my moroso book when i get home from work and get the part number for the oil pan i used on my 383.....it accepts up to 3.85 stroke with anything but aluminum rods......plus it was only $117 from jegs and $19 for the corresponding moroso pick-up tube. it also comes in an 8 quart version.

Re: 7 Quart Oil pan

Nothing other than factory 5qt pan is going to work with exhaust.

7 quarts is 2 quarts too many on a street car anyway - not worth the exhaust hassle. SBC's been running fine for 50+ years with 5 quarts. The only thing that 2 quarts is gonna get you (besides an exhaust headache) is another $8+ out of wallet when time to change oil.
