I ran one of those with the Spohn K-Member and BMR K-Member. I remember with the Spohn parts you need to make sure your rubber engine mounts don't sag or you'll rub on the bottom of the oil pan.
I have one for sale for $100, I run a Stef's now so I don't need it.

Just Reassurance on the street, I'm most likely going to run a half filled block next year and want to run as much oil as possible to help with cooling. Not sure if this is true or not, but ive also heard in stroker applications if you run a 5qt pan and run 5qts of oil the stroke will be dipping into the oil?

If you really want some reassurance, run an oil accumulator.

Run a line to the plug right above the oil filter and install the solenoid on that line between the accumulator. Trigger the accumulator off a fuel pump relay or something that comes on just before you start the car and you'll be putting pressurized oil into your engine before you even start the car. I've held 50lb of oil pressure for days in the accumulator.
It is really a race only thing though, not worth the trouble if you don't need it.
Also doesn't your car come with an oil cooler?
