351 oil pan 7qt or 5qt, hv oil pump or standard?

[moneypit94]

Ok im building up a 418 stroker, and I need to know what oil pan I should go with.. there is a 5qt coversion pan from summit for 131 or should i go with like a canton 7qt oil pan 250+?

Plan on running 6500 rpms at most on this stroker..

I was told that as a general rule for whatever rpm you go up to you take 1% of that and that should work for your oil pressure. Meaning if i went 6500 rpms i should have a oil pump that is pushing at least 65 lbs of pressure. That would take a hv oil pump to make that pressure i believe.

Any info would be great!!!

That is a pretty good rule of thumb. I would get a windage tray while you change that pan. Either Moroso or Canton 7qt would be the best choice, I am about to change mine when I get a new K-member
