I have a 74 Chevy Custom Nova Hatchback. Will see some strip time as things are sorted out:It has a 383 stroker motor. The stock pan has very little front clearance with the cross member. The car has been lowered, thus ground clearance is of the essence. I am looking for a pan whose sump box does not exceed the clearance of the stock pan and clears the headers .I wrote to a performance shop about one of their pans but found that the sump was too deep and suggested a circle track pan:
it held 7 quarts, appeared to have the stock style front core, stock sump depth and a kick out on the left side. I wrote the pan manufacturer, who indicated it would not be a good fit most likely, but "no, why not."


Custom oil pans are available but are pricey for the vast street use the car vastly sees.


All help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
