Would prefer a pretty shallow one so I can get the engine as low as I can without hitting the steering rod.
Not sure what vehicle came with what, do you have one Carl?

This subject has come up before, & it seems that the alternative pans from trucks & T-birds aren't really rear sump pans. So they sometimes don't solve the clearance problems. Has anyone ever considered say, 1" down from the pan mounting area, using a cutting blade & removing the entire pan bottom & turning it 180 degrees, and re welding it on? It would of course require closing the side hole in the pan & drilling a new hole on the drivers side, closer to the oil pump & shortening the oil supply tube. A somwhat involved project, but it could work, I think. Yes, no?..

That measurement would be the deepest part wouldn't it Carl?
If so how deep is the shallow part at the front please? Trev.

Paul: I did that very thing about 42 years ago when I put a 292 in my '33 Ford pickup. I have a flathead in the truck now, but that 292 with 312 pistons and that pan is still sitting in my barn.

My 292 came to me with a rear sump pan and after I removed it I found that it was originally a front sump pan. Someone before me had cut the oil pan mounting flange off, turned it around and weld/brazed/epoxied it back on. One corner had been massaged (as they say in the hot rod magazines) with a ball peen hammer to clear the oil pump, small sheet metal pieces were welded into the corners and the oil pick up tube looked like a pretzel. It isn't pretty but it didn't appear to leak. I think with care and planning someone could do a better job. Its no longer straight as it was extremely difficult to remove.
