Default 6.0 into a '82-'93 S10: Which oil pan?

Ive been searching on here but I just can't seem to find a clear answer to this. My friend is putting a 6.0 into his '82 2WD S10 and he has everything to do the swap except a pan. Can anyone tell me which one he should use for this?

Thanks!!

I've always wondered: when you guys notch pans, what do you do about the lost oil capacity?

94Snake, is that you from Supraforums?

you simply dont put in as much oil...



but i know what you mean. losing a quart of oil wont hurt anything.
lets say you were to do a high volume/capacity oil pump - when youre into the high rpm, the pump can evacuate all the oil in the sump and the oil cannot return to the pan fast enough. a solution would be not running such high oil pressure if possible. most street/mild track driven engines dont need high volume pumps
