Hello, I have a 5.7 Hemi in my 68 Valiant using Schumacher engine mounts and the original slant 6 K member. I was told for clearance I should use a Milodon 31000 oil pan, which is what we have done. However the clearances a still very very tight and I am thinking of 'trimming' down the part of the oil pan that sits near the steering components to give it more clearance. Do you think this is a feasible idea? If so how far down does the windage tray extend into the oil pan? Thought I would ask rather than tearing it all apart to find it can't be done. Appreciate any advice you may have.
 
do you need v8 steering draglink like early a cars?
 
You could probably "ding" the oil pan with a hammer but....can you post pictures?
