Default First time stroker engine

Ok I bought a 89fox 3months ago and the engine is just junk the last owner though together. My plan is to do a full rebuild, so I figure why not stroke it to a 347. The rotating assembly that I want to use is a forged scat with a moroso main girdle. There are a few questions I have about this setup.

Do I have to buy a specail oil pan and pickup? The car has a 7qt proform on it.
Will the main girdle need to be machined?
Is there anything else I will need to do(beside machine work), or specail part I need to buy.

Any info would really help
thanks

Scat is a good brand, I run Eagle. Most likely you will have to gring a little material off of the girdle to provide enough room for the oil pump. Im not real sure on the proform pan working as you will need a different pickup for the oil pump. I am running a Canton pan and Canton pickup. I would just order the pickup for know and then test fit it when you get it in.
