Oil pan hitting the center linkage.

I believe the center links are the same size. Most likely it's your pan. I had this problem in my 69 valiant. Turns out the pan is from a truck or something. My temporary solution was to dent the pan so it would fit, but only barely. Now that my engine is out, I'm putting a different pan on.

I thought about doing the same thing but knowing my luck id really F-bomb it up. I have a pan from 198 but im not 100% that it will work. The funny thing is that my girlfriend bought the 63 2 years and was told it was a 225 but it turns out after buying an actual 225 from a 67 dart it was actually a 198, which from my understanding wasnt made until 7 years later. So, im wondering is it possible that they put a different k-frame or just a different oil pan to get it to work on there?
