There is nothing preventing you from running a stock oil pan.

i did a little bit of homework on that and the 347 and from what i saw the 347 is less streetable than the 331 and has some issues with oil consumption, plus i can hurt the motor once and get al least one more bore out of it

If you are going NA then go with a 347. The newer kits supposedly don't have as many issues with oil consumption. It's all in the machine work.

If you are going with a blower then a 331 will be perfect. You will get lots of bottom end torque and good top end with the blower. Make sure you get a machine shop that knows about blower motors to do the assembly and machining. This will make sure your shit lives long with the blower. Also, you will need a pretty good fuel system to support the kinda power this motor will make.

I would run an aftermarket pan but it's not necessary. It just so happens I have a Morosso 7qt oil pan (tapped for a blower oil return for sale). Hit me up if you are interested

oil problems were common when the stroker kits where first being sold this isn't an issue any longer. I've never had a problem on my 347 ever. Just buy quality parts.
