What oil pan are people using for SBF in a Gen 3 chassis?

I am using a Kevko (https://kevkoracing.com/collections/ford-302-351w/products/part-f406-ford-rear-sump-street-strip-pan-302-engine) oil pan.

I'm using a Front Sump Canton Pan. Link here: https://www.cantonracingproducts.com/products/15-630s-ford-289-302-front-sump-road-race-14-ga-12-wide-sump-pan.html

Word of caution that I've learned. Typically, for a SBF and using the Convertible Mustang Engine mounts, to keep the bottom of the pan within the frame rails, you have a max depth of 7 1/2". I've only found one pan through Aviaid that meets that. Kevco, Canton, and Champ pans, off the shelf, are 8" deep. Even the one I ordered is, but, also figured since closer to the front tires, the clearance wasn't critical, but, still something to be aware of. I'm sure Kevco and Champ can custom make a pan. Also, pay attention to where the oil temp sensor bung is located. HTH.

Champ makes a road race pan that is perfect. I believe Gordan Levy sells them at a good price.

Tim,
I have a rear sump, 8 quart Champ that measures 7". Bought it from Forte.

My Kevco is 7.5" deep. The one I linked to is 7.5" deep.

I'm sorry, y'all are correct...I was looking for a front sump pan as I have a '94 block and a rear sump interferes with the clutch cable.

Also note that a front sump pan WILL NOT fit in a Gen3 Coupe frame or a new MkV
