I noticed that the armando pan has a full length sump, no clearance for cars that may be unfortuate enough to have a crossmember under the oil pan. Just something to check before writing the check. Depends on you chassis. I gave away an old chevy LS-7 ol pan for that reason. The front end of the pan was much shallower than the sump, unfortunately, not shallow enough. The motor sat down on the oil pan 1/4" before the holes in the motor mount cross bolts were lined up. The pan that replaced it was a milodon that had a wide sump, and one side touched a header primary tube, alas. I had to put a stock pan back on and clearance the inside of the pan for the full screen windage tray. That was when I was younger, and my father didn't understand why I had to put the motor in and out so many times before firing it up.
