best oil pan options

i have pulled motor out to machine pistons for my head swap and figured i should swap to a better oil pan for better oiling while it was out, right now i have a steel 7qt oil pan with no baffles or any thing, what is the best oil pan for street/ strip, would it be worth putting a crank scraper in there as well, what do you guys think, thanks jason

Re: best oil pan options

My stock L98 350 oil pan is damaged and I'd also be interested in suggestions.

Maybe an improvement over the stock pressed metal one?

Re: best oil pan options

I'm running a moroso 6-qt oil pan with no issues. Had to modify my y-pipe a bit though as the bottom of the pan is larger, so the factory y-pipe won't go around it. Also have a high-volume melling oil pump in the car that came with it. You can check out summit, they sell them for about $150ish for the set (Pan + pump)
