Stock oil pump with aftermarket oil pan?

I've heard bad things about high volume oil pumps running pans dry and was curious if it was recommended to keep the stocker wtih a aftermarket pan (canton) or go HV?

I Think it's up to you. The pan should come with the extended pickup.

The problem with running a HV oil pump is with the stock pan. If you get a bigger pan you don't have to worry about it.

Any reason it was your "old" 383? Hopefully not because of the pump right?

Ditto here, 383, HV pump, deep pan. Works great.
