Small Block car DIY Oil Pan Baffle - big block truck pan re-purpose!

I've found a pickup tube near worn thru from contact with similar, check for witness marks on tube etc before you button it up, imho .
Jiggle the pan on loose bolts to see where it might move when tightened .
Good work .
That’s good advice.

the real threat is side clearance where the cut out for tube is, If it clears it it clears. vertically it won’t get any closer once it’s bolted down if you know what I mean. for others that are doing this, when I test fit the pan once it was in place, laying in place on the block I moved the pan side to side and front to back with no bolts in place, and had at least 1/4" before anything stopped (hit anything) indicating good clearance all around. When it did hit things it wasn’t the baffle. It would stop on the oil pump and main caps and other stuff etc first.
