Stroker oil pan

Hi guys, wondering if you could help me choose oil pan for my -72 350 engine. The car is a -86 camaro Z28. I’m stroking it to 383, using 3.75” stroke. What oil pan do you recommend using (thinking about clearance to headers and ground)? I want to have as much ground clearance as possible. I have relocated oil filter and are using LT Headmann but considering hooker 2055 headers.

Appreciate feedback

Any early SBC pan will work. Even if you use a deep sump pan, there won't be a ground clearance issue.

Thanks Stephen. Just wanted to be shore I don’t by an oil pan witch would interfere with the headers/K-member and not be a ground-clearance issue if I lower the car 1 or 2 inches.
