David, Canton has two front tee sumped pans. They both look exactly alike, but one has all the trap doors and one doesn't. This one doesn't.

If you are using aftermarket rear main cap fasteners, chances are something will have to be done to whatever pan you're using. Even ARP bolts stick high enough up that they will hit the pan rail. Some guys mill the bolts down, I find it easier to just dimple the pan rail from the inside. Also, a factory 427 block has a small pipe plug near the block rail. The pan rail hit it.

I don't use windage trays for street engines. No need in it. You won't see any horsepower gains on the dyno and it serves as yet another gasket that could cause sealing problems. In this case, it would have made the pickup clearance even worse...
