I double checked my dimensions yesterday, and the distance from the current pan rail to the bottom of the frame is 8.75" (front) and 7.25" rear. Armando's 7" depth will keep it slightly over 1/4" above the frame rails (20" long sump ends a few inches short of the bell housing), while Aviaid's 7.5" depth means it would be slightly below the frame rails, even with the sump being 2" shorter (front to back).
The only bogie I see right now is Armando's drain plug is at the front of the pan, so I'm going to need that installed at the back of the pan. That will make draining it a bit of a PITA, given the short space between the back of the sump and the bell housing.
Alternatively, I could have the pan built with a sump horizontal to the frame, meaning it would be deeper at the front than the rear by an inch or more, but that would compensate for the installed angle of the engine.
