1968 383 Barracuda- center link hits oil pan

can see here where the entire steering link looks like it's too far back so it it misses the factory indentation made in the pan to give clearance. Maybe pitman and idler are both too long and causing this ? Anyway I know I can 'improve' on he factory indent if I get hold of a solid 699 - Wondering is the 893 significantly shallower to give better clearance? the indentation looks like it is the same location.
