Exclamation New Oil Level with 383 stroker?

I'm just about to put my 383 back in the car. But after installing a Milodon pan and my stock oil dip stick, it occured to me that the stroker crank will be swinging an 1/8" lower in the pan. Is it a good idea to run my oil level that much lower? What is everyone else doing?

You sould call Milodon up and ask some one in tech suport.
I have delt with them before they have good people there.
I would think the pan would be clearance for the crank and need a different dip stick.
