Stuffing the 383 back in the valiant while i assemble parts for a gen3 swap. Will i be ok with the stock pan and a windage tray for the 7-8 events the car might see this season or am i better off biting the bullet on a moroso rr pan. Thanks!
Depends on where you are running, your tires, and to some degree how smooth you are. I'd baffle the pan.
You can make some baffles that should help. Unlike the small block you shouldn't have to compromise the baffle for the pickup tube.
Goals of your baffles are to
deflect sloshing,
retain a higher level around the pickup during extended g periods,
make sure the oil can drain back to the sump.
