6 qt would work. 2 piece seal 1st gen SBC. Need windage and passenger side dipstick. What model of Moroso pan are you running? Do you have stock K-Member?

Re: 83 Camaro 383 Stroker Oil Pan Stock K-Member

i can't find the one we're running. car has a stock k-member still. this one says it'll work with the chassis though, and is 7 qts. you should be able to run a windage tray with this one no problem:

Re: 83 Camaro 383 Stroker Oil Pan Stock K-Member

Depth of the pan means very little for a stroker unless you have a huge stroke increase. Increased stroke normally requires a little extra pan clearance along the rails mainly for the rod bolts to clear.

Ok Motors in. I used a Moroso 20191 and it fit perfect. My block is older so the dipstick was on the drivers side but they also make a passenger side version. Plenty of clearance behind the K Member but hangs down about 1/2" below the K member. I was able to stab the motor and tranny in together very happy with it.
