Really, only 1/4"?
Almost want to see if I could trim the top of the filter to insert it 1/4" further up and use the stock pan?
Then again, probably not a good idea to play there!
Temptation!
I believe the deeper pan is to accommodate the new, thicker, filter. You can try but I think you'll find out the stock pan flange won't mate the Trans because of the filter being squished between the pan and valve body.

Had some discussions on this back in '13 when I first posted my thread on the change -- one fellow did metal-working and wanted to re-form the old pan to fit. Unless he added metal it wouldn't work.
Bob: to answer your Q directly: the new filter is also wider than the old, so you'd need to raise it up even higher, which I wouldn't risk. Hey, some smart guys like Mark engineered this, it is a package and is cheap as it is, and works on our trucks (thanks Ford ).
Here is a link again to the measurements and visual of the two pans:

I think I remember that. I thought he was going to cut the pan and weld in a drop section.
I can't remember where we ended up, other than I do recall he wanted to just pound out the stamping to fit the new shape required...
Some things you want to save a buck on. And some things aren't worth your time to figure out how to do it cheaper. I learned that lesson on the DIY coolant filter: sold all the parts I had gathered at less than half what I'd paid, because in the end, the XDP kit was complete and about the same price, but designed for instant install; and well thought out...

Ya Dan,
First thought was to save a buck, second was to rethink the process and again...save a buck by Not screwing this up and Mac Givering it the wrong way!

Sir: you are an RVer, MacGivering is what gets us down the Road (and you know what I mean, and the 6.0 is just a TINY part of it )

Thanks Dan. Yep, my dad grew up in central Minnesota where you didn't get er fixed if you didn't do it yourself!
Learned from a young age how to tear a toaster to V8 apart when work was necessary.
Amazing when you run into people who "can't" fix a thing.
You know, that four letter word our parent's wouldn't let us say.
Just for sh**s and giggles, I called two local Ford dealers for pricing on 6.4 pan, filter, gasket: $89.58, $85.47, and $46.37 respectively. They don't call 'em stealer-ships for nothing!
Must have heard about the upgrade party over here.
