Well My 383 should be here tomorrow. I have a stock f-body oil pan for it. I also have a oil pickup and windage tray from the other stock block I bought. The question I have is that the stock block I bought a while ago had a spun rod bearing. Would you still use the oil pickup and windage trany from that motor on a built motor?

I dont know the cause behind the spun bearing but when I spun a bearing in my 98 firebird it was due to low oil pressure as my oil pump went out. Would a oil pickup or windage tray contribute to a spun bearing?
