Will this kick out pan fit? - BBC

I have a Hamburger's aluminum oil pan(billet?)with the works..Scraper,trap door

Its 6.5" deep in the back to about 10" in..Then its less than 4.5" deep.The kick out sticks about half an inch on the driver side with the drain plug sticking out even further to about an inch.It stickes about an inch on the passenger side.

I will use the Hooker swap headers. I didnt have a kickout pan the last time I had a big block on a Camaro.

Its a nice piece and I really want to use it.

edit: Its 6.5" deep in the back

I don't know if there's enough room for a kickout with the Hooker swap headers. They come pretty close to the pan. I use a deep sump pan with no problems.

Thats what Im worried about. Im hoping the shallower rear will offset the difference in width

Most kickouts will work. The problems are with starter removal and oil filter removal. I have Ed Quay and I have plenty of oil pan clearance for a full lickout aluminum pan. I just have to use a short oil filter.
