I had a stock pan with a drain plug in the bottom and it was by far the lowest thing on the car. I changed to a Canton 680S road race pan with the drain plug in the side and gained over an inch of clearance. The pan is no longer the lowest point. Additionally, that pan is the "extra thick" 14-gauge "skid plate" version for Cobras. With a remote filter and
oil cooler it holds 10 quarts.
