Would this oil pan and pump combo work?
Thinking about turning my 350 into a 383. Would really like to take what I learned from the last build and really make think this one through and make sure EVERYTHING is right. I'm not happy with my current oil pan setup and would like to upgrade. Would this pan and pump be acceptable for a 383 with a max rpm around 5500 or so?

It would probably work fine but IMO from past experience Moroso pans are pretty much a "low end" pan. Check out Canton. They make a pretty nice pan. Bottom line your gonna get what you pay for.
You can get those pans alone for $145.00. Not so sure the other stuff that comes with it is worth the $165.00 extra.
Also if looking at pans with the kicked out sump you want to make sure it will clear your starter and oil filter if block mounted. Other wise you may have to go to a mini starter and remote filter.

I've looked at canton and they are pretty pricy. I don't run mine hard for extended periods (mostly boating on a small lake) so I thought maybe the moroso would be a slightly better than stock option. My other concern is the included oil pump, is it worth a damn?
