The pan may indeed be deeper. I asked in post 1 if anyone could confirm the stock pan as I do not have one to compare it to. This was my first thought as to the problem. I was told that the 4" measurement I took from my pan was the same as another members that had a stock 396. From this info, I decided the pan was the same as stock. Could the member that told me this be mistaken? I do not know, anything is possible of course. I do know my pan has a larger capacity than stock overall, I do not know if all of that volume is made up where the sump is or not.
I am using what I believe are "stock style" BB motor mounts. I bought these new from Jegs (IIRC). The mounts I am using have the center of the bolt (connects motor to frame) to the block at approx. 2.5"
I am still open to suggestions if anyone has one. I am not tearing into it until tomorrow.
