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.
