Im looking for suggestions for gen VI oil pan
Im building a gen 6 496 cubic inch stroker for a corvette, engine swap, thats going to require rear sump, and a max oil pan sump depth of 7.75 "' but 7.5" would be better for road clearance, any suggestions as to a good value in a decent oil pan that holds a minimum of 6 quarts are most welcome.
generally I just custom fabricate an oil pan for similar engine swaps but Im hoping theres a reasonably well though thru, baffled oil pan design now available since the gen VI engines have been available now for years.

something like this would be ideal but I can,t seem to find one that states it fits the newer gen 6 blocks and clears a 4.25" stroke, and has a sump depth of less than 7.75", yes Ive welded up dozens of custom baffled oil pans but Id rather just have a part number I could order IF ITS AVAILABLE AT A SEMI DECENT PRICE and THE QUALITY'S DECENT, because it takes a good deal of effort and time to correctly fabricate a decent baffled oil pan.
SHOP CAREFULLY , WHEN YOU GO TO BUY AN OIL PAN<AND ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WILL FIT YOUR CAR CORRECTLY AND ASK FOR SUGGESTIONS ON MATCHING COMPONENTS OR PARTS THAT WON,T FIT

IF you've wondered why I suggest buying and using a well designed BAFFLED oil pan with 7-8 quart capacity its to prevent the oil from uncovering the oil pump pick-up under performance use.
without control baffles oil sloshes away from the oil pump pick-up
If your building a 383 SBC you can frequently gain the required clearance for use of a stroker crank , on the stock oil pan, with a few well placed additional dents in the oil pan rail areas with a 3 lb ball peen hammer but the correct route is to buy a baffled oil pan and windage tray with the clearance built in.
when buying a corvette oil pan ground clearance is tight, a baffled 7"-7.5" deep oil pan thats designed for YOUR block that holds 7 quarts is generally the best choice youll need to know which side the dip sticks on and the gaskets thickness used so as questions before ordering to insure you get the correct oil pan for your application
