Anyone know of a front sump pan (289/302) that clears a main girdle?

[D.Hearne]

Need one for the 331 going in the 77 Comet. The contact point is the main stud nuts on the rear main cap. I tried a 7 qt 68 Ford pickup pan but have screwed it up trying to clearance it. It had better clearance than the car 5 qt pan. All the aftermarket deep or otherwise larger front sump pans are enlarged stock pans, so they have the same issue. I don't want to try this again with a $200 aftermarket pan. The pan I ruined was a freeby.

I have a 7qt front sump pan.....dont know the brand.....may or may not clear what you neede cleared. If you want to try it out, let me know...maybe we can ship it to you and back to me if it doesnt fit really cheap.

A Milidon 8qt road race pan will work also.

Bought one off ebay with pickup for 80ish. It didn't hit my girdle. And I had the one that doesn't require main cap maching.(means they are closer to pan.) No problems.

Milodon gave me plenty of clearance on the Canton girdle + windage tray.
