? Oil pump is mounted outside the pan on the Y. Are you referring to the pick-up tube? Those can be bent a little to make sure you have ~3/16"-1/4" clearance. If you use thick oil(20W-50), then more clearance is a good idea. Joe-JDC

The oil pumped mounted to the block is really close to the oil pan flange at the left corner. I’m guessing 1/16. Perhaps I can move the pan to the right. No problem with the pick up tube.

I don't recall Ted having said anything negative about the aluminum gearotor oil pumps, and he prefers gearotors. Within the last two years, he did acquire a new batch of aftermarket cast-iron gearotor pumps, but they were/are $200+.
Melling still makes rebuild kits for the gearotor pumps.
