Try the lhx pan listed on page 10 in the oil pan stickys.This pan would be perfect for street rod applications or any lowered vehicles as the sump depth is only 5.5 inches

the lhx does look like a great piece, but the fbody still seems to be the best choice for most because they still can be found used for decent prices.
