When I bought my car it had a homemade deep sump pan on it. I had to be careful going over speed bumps in parking lots etc. or it would scrape. The machinist that I had work on the motor put a new deep sump pan on it. I didn't realize that it was about .75" deeper than the other one. So I scraped it hard enough in a parking lot that it started leaking heavily. Luckily I noticed it right away and was only a few blocks from home. So I switched back to the homemade unit and turned my torsion bars up a little. The damaged pan was 7" deep so keep that in mind when evaluating pans before the engine goes in. I changed mine with the engine in the car and that is a PITA.

Has anyone used a Jeg's # 50274 oil pan ? Jeg's application chart says it will fit our cars. Shows to be 7 qt. If so, any fit up issues ? Ground clearance ? I have 187, 699, and 402 pans but I don't think these pans will work for my 63 SF. I looked at the Mopar pan # 5007807 too.
