351C in particular, but other engines may have the same issue. My car is a 1987 Turbo Coupe with the stock K-member and power steering rack. The engine sits in the stock location without the oil pan for obvious reasons. Not a whole lot of clearance there, and was wondering if any Fox swap oil pan, Canton or Moroso, is a better fit over the other? Extra quart capacity would be a plus as well. I haven't had luck finding dimensions of the two pans. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another question may result from the first, and that is if a manual steering rack would provide more clearance or not. I know the 351C fits in Mustangs, but I believe there are just enough differences between K-members with my car that the physical dimensions would help the best, thanks.

Ok, let me ask this again, lol. Anyone have a Canton or Moroso oil pan on a 351C for Fox swaps that can measure the height between the block to oil pan surface to the lowest points on the pan itself?
