oil pan question
Are there any issues with using a stock 1973 oil pan with the internal baffle for a mild stroker build? With an internal baffle, I assume no windage tray is needed?

Nope, run it.

With that pan a tight fitting oil scraper is more effective and tons easier to install then playing around near endlessly shimming a tray for a stroker and then spacing the oil pan with two gaskets to clear the tray.

So your recommendation would be an aftermarket pan with an oil scraper?

In a 100% street engine, you would never know the difference.... I don't run any windage tray or crank scrapers on my street 461, just use the factory baffled oil pan. If it were a race engine, I would have definitely went with a good windage tray/scraper setup and aftermarket pan.
