318 oil pan question ?

Well to start things off, we had purchased a newly rebuilt 318 from a friend and tried putting it in the 67 Barracuda that I'm helping my son get up and going again, today, but it didn't go so well . We had it almost in, but the oil pan would not, and was not, going to clear the steering link.Then I remembered he said it had come out of a 4 wheel drive truck. then it clicked in my old burnt out brain I remembered somewhere some of the truck engines came with a larger oil pan ,like 7 qts. So we pulled it back out and I went and got a pan off of a 69 318 I had dis .assembled. The engine we were trying to put in was a 79 and the pan was a little different besides being larger . It was smooth around the front and rear seal area and the older model had little holes in both areas .I suppose the seals have little tits that go down in there on the older one . We also changed the oil pump pickup because the truck engine had a longer one.I guess what I'm asking is will this pan work ok on this engine . It looks the same except where the seal area is.. Sorry about the long post ,just wanted to explain Thanks, Double Six:???:
