You can forget the stock pan and all that work. I just found my notes from when I did an r & r on my pan in July (off the engine). All dimensions carefully measured. Here ya go:
Floor of pan to pan rail=6".
Six qts in pan to pan rail= 3 3/8"
Seven qts in pan to pan rail=2 7/8"
Straight edge across the pan rail. Don't measure to block rail-the windage tray and gaskets will add dimension.
