Anybody Using Moroso 6qt Oil Pan?

I have a Moroso 6qt pan for 82-92 camaro part # 710-20180
on summits web page it says that this oil pan will not clear a stroker (383). Well I think my crank shot on me and if it did i will really want to buy a 400 crank. Anybody using a 400 crank with this oil pan with any clearance problems? Please no smart asses that say it wont work just because summits web page says so. Would like to know from somebody with a 383 that is using or has tried it.

I had that same pan on my 400 and only had a slight rub on one of the counterweights. Not a big deal...just had to dent it a little with a hammer. Might wanna check for this when you do a dry assembly. I noticed mine after installing the pan and rotating the motor over by hand.
