[Chrysler300] 300F Oil Pan

[Thomas Cox <tdcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are reinstalling the F engine after rebuild. I replaced the oil pan with a 
new pan from 440 Source (due to the previous pan having a leak) and the oil pan 
is nearly touching the engine cross brace. Now, I wonder if this is the correct 
pan. I have inspected an old pan from a 440 and the front part of that oil pan 
is about 2" longer than the new pan I installed; both are center sump pans.

An easy question (I hope): can someone check to see if their F oil pan is close 
to the cross member or is there nearly two inches between the rear of the cross 
member and the oil pan sump portion. Mine doesn't quite touch but it is very 
close. I have thougthts of shimming the engine up about 1/4" where the motor 
mounts rest on the frame to make certain the oil pan doesn't rub, which 
might create a hole in the pan. I hate to swap out the pan at this stage.

Thoughts or suggestions?
