Looking into the derale 14207 for my 4l80e in my fox body. Anyone run this? Mostly concerned about ground clearance.

Some people think the Derale pan is a useless gimick. Here is a thread on it:

I read through it, I don't know if I'm buying it though. Any other opinions with an 80e?

going to hang pretty low. I had a B&M that was 1/4" deeper and it was the lowest point. I ended up with a stock pan I believe out of a truck/van that is about 2" deep so it holds about 2 quarts more than the flatter pan. also the derale pan is stamped not cast, so if it does hit something it will crack pretty easy

i have the summit pan, it hangs down slightly lower than my headers just by a smidge. holds extra fluid, only thing bad is these crazy 12 point pan bolts im having trouble finding a socket for. cheers! ps i have 2 believe an aluminum pan cools better than a stock metal pan.

I used to feel OK with an engine oil pan which hung slightly below the frame crossmember because the headers were a bit lower still. Then I read a post (here or another forum) where someone hit a raised manhole cover in a construction site which demolished the pan and damaged the engine.

Its already on its way here. I'll post results, and figure something else out if need be.
