Oil pan choice 383

[condor74]

I am just about ready to finish my engine and I am trying to decide which oil pan to install. Motor is going into my 1968 Plymouth Satellite. It has a high volume oil pump. Car will be used for cruising and Drag racing.
I have 2 oil pans in the garage now.
1 is the stock replacement from Summit chrome pan. Think it holds 4 quarts plus the filter. I also have 5 quart pan but will have to get it hot tanked as no amount of scrubbing is getting it clean. I will also have to squire a pick up to match that pan. 3rd option is buy an aftermarket pan. Jegs has a nice looking pan for around 100 that holds 7 quarts. I will need a pick up also for it. I am on a very tight budget. Does anyone else have any experience with the Jegs pan or any suggestions. Thanks . I will also be running a MP windage tray. Here is the link to the Jegs pan. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performa...BBGbElFQpMoYCJj9iQwwJ28D6QEwMmW0aAngqEALw_wcB

$40 steel 440 source pan here, scuffed and painted like the rest of the engine ...

440SOURCE has a replica "402" pan that holds 6 qts. for 80 bucks and you can the correct pick up on eBay for 55.

I saw some at 440source after i posted this. Thinking the 7qt pan for 89 with the 14 dollar pick up may be the way to go

You'll need to dinker with their tube to get just right, not a big deal, just an FYI.

Just to add to the discussion. What is anyone's opinions on running the stock 4 at pan? Windage tray will still be installed.

I'd run at the minimum a 5 quart. Oil is the life blood.
