Oilpan to pickup tube, oil pump and crank in the bottom front of the motor? I'm curious if the front of an F body pan can be modified and moved up at all before hitting the oil pump pickup tube or other obstructions? What side does the pickup tube run on? Could it possibly be reworked? Thanks for any help, and pictures would be great if anyone has some of their engine w/ the pan off.

I would say its possible up to a certain amount.
You would just cut off a little more on the pick up tube than you would cut off the pan itself and weld it back up.
Im not sure how much shorter you can make it before it doesnt clear the crankshaft though.
