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...

Yes, I have both the pans. Very good point about the Windage tray and the extra gasket being a potential leak. maybe I will sell it and just install the RR pan with all the doors. I guess I should also find a way to measure the pickup to the bottom of the pan also.
I will also look for any interference.
Thanks for the great info Brent.
