Aftermarket Oil Pans - 383

I'm building a Stroker 383. Can you recommend an oil pan that will clear the 383? I understand some of the earlier Canton pans had issues... leaks, fitting over the K-member, etc.

This will be for daily driving and the occasional, yet rewarding, flogging of yuppies.

OMG That canton was a major PITA to install... you need to take off that windage tray and cut down the bolts on the main caps... ffs.

No and no - I'll be putting mine back on tonight. Everything clears like it should. If your bolts are too long with the canton, theres no way a stock pan would clear them.

They fixed the fitmant issues long ago. Some people claim they don't seal right, but so far my leak problems have been other places. Canton has a oil pan gasket on summit too - I just got mine and it looks like a good piece for the same price as a felpro.
