Depending what headers you're using. Most swap headers won't work with a kickout pan because they come too close to the sides of the pan. I also use a Moroso 7 quart pan. Any standard BBC car replacement pan will work with no problems. The performance pans should all be clearanced for a stroker crank.

A Camaro pan should also work, at least for a stock stroke.

you dont have any ground clearance issues w/ the moroso 7 qt? I assume the 7 qt. hangs lower than a stock type oil pan. Im getting to the point where i need an oil pan for my motor and a chevelle pan from chevy is like 150$. I found 1 on summit a 4 qt. stock summit brand oil pan and am thinking about using that but would really like more oil capacity and was considering the moroso
