Oil Pan Question

Have any one used a Milodon 7qt Oil Pan, part # 30900. I need to know how this would present any chasis problems. ie: Headers or crossmember interference. This is the Milodon Street/Strip Oil Pans:

It'll probably interfere with the crossmember under the engine. It's a tight fit down there, and I know a standard SBC oil pan will not work because of that. I don't know if it will interfere with the crossover pipe though.

I don have to worry about the crosspipe from the exhaust because I have a custom exhaust that runs down the side of the car.
Thanks

if you are not running the exhaust between the oil pan and crossmember, that pan will fit

How much ground clearance do you have with that? Any more pics of how it is ran?? I'm looking to do that too, but the roads around here are crap and I don't want to smash my pipes.
