Jeg's didn't really detail a difference between the oil pans for a SBC, that and I was adding a widnage tray to the bottom end. The 283 oil pan cleared the windage tray but not the front main cap, I haven't had a chance to actually look at an early 283 to see if the front main cap was shaped differently.
