351c oil pan clearance

The mounts are from outcast auto works for a small block ford.
The 2x4 spacer gets me 1/2 inch clearance
The oil pan fit with this engine with the original suspension and engine mounts.
Is this a deep sump pan?
Is the 302/351w oil pans not as tall?
This oil pan measures approx 8 in deep
Will a shorter 351m/400 oil pan and oil pick up tube work?
Whats everyone’s ideas?
Thanks in advance

look at a moroso 20530 I just bought one and it is a rear sump pick up with a small sump up front for the oil pump. Don't if this is what you need or not.

I found a 1980 with a 351m 2wd is a rear sump with a oil pan mounted dip stick.

Rear sump from a 1980 351m 2wd. I got the pan, dipstick, special main bearing bolt/stud, and the long tube oil pickup

I don't think a 351M/400 pan will fit a 351C's rear main bearing cap. The 351M/400 had half inch larger main journals as I recall. Same deal with the 302-351W's, pans aren't interchangeable.

It is a perfect fit. Now the 351c has a bigger parts source
