I would love to get the Holley pan but its gonna be $600 with the baffle and I am killing my budget. The truck pan will fit great but hangs low. I might even shorten it. Or maybe I'll change it out later. I just have to be careful not to bottom out.

If you shorten the oil pan you will need to do the oil pick up tube also so be careful.

This is the Holley for clearance. The truck one was way longer.

The pan on eBay I listed above is almost 1" shorter and is only $250.00

How far down is that pan hanging? Hard to tell by the angle. I set the block with the truck pan and it doesn't seem as low as the Holley appears. But maybe its the photo angle or I didn't lower the motor in far enough on my test fit.

Mine should hang down 2.5" then. I guess I will have to get to that point and see what happens. If its gonna hang that low I will buy a pan. I Should know by early summer.
