Default Best aftermarket oil pan?

Hey guys, getting things ready to put my 383 back together and figured it was time to do a new pan since the old ones messed up and I need to drill and tap a supercharger oil feed return into it anyway. So whats a good aftermarket alternative. I know ive heard of people having issues with the cantons. Dose anyone make one with a built in return plug?

I do not have personal experience with them but I've head good things about Stefan's pans. http://www.stefs.com/products.html. I run a Moroso with the 5.5 qt capacity. Includes baffles, windage, etc etc. Works fine for what I need but I'm guessing you want some extra capacity.

I have a full kick out super stock stef's. Really good quality on the construction and the baffles. Two downsides, the price and the wait time for custom orders.

na just hadnt checked back on it for a few days, budget with the cam got in the way lol... havent ordered anything yet. Not really worried about increased capacity althought it wouldnt hurt but mainly just something that will seal good.

I hear ya on the budget thing. As long as you get a good gasket you should be good. I don't know about these engines, but felpro makes a 1 piece for older sbc. I used them. They are really good. Extra capacity is always a good thing.

yea i have the 1 piece gasket sitting here at the house, i think it was that my pan had been drawn up to tight at one point and all the bolts had warped the matting surface is why i was having issues.

Only problem I've had with my Canton is getting windage at higher RPM. I use 5.5qts instead of 6 and it's all good.

I think speeddemon24 has a Canton pan, was experiencing windage and put a Moroso tray in and it fixed the problem.
