Anyone use this Kevko 7qt pan, with 2055s?

I was looking to get a new oil pan, because I dented mine while I was backing in my garage. Here is the one i'm looking at. eBay Motors: Kevko Chevy Oil Pan 7 qt. 1 Piece Seal Right Hand (item 8039753661 end time Jun-17-06 14:33:22 PDT)

I just wanted to know if it would fit our vehicles. I'm also most likely going to be running hooker 2055s, and their y pipe. But I might go with SLP. Does anyone know what companies y pipe would clear this pan. If not i'm just going to buy the kevko 5 qt pan, which is the same exact pan I have on my motor right now. I would leave the pan with the dent, but i'd rather be safe than sorry. I'm going to take a pic of the damage before I buy another pan, and go through the trouble. Changing it is much better than trashing a motor with 0 miles on a rebuild. My oil pressure is the same, but I think the dent may have hit the pickup, i'm not exactly sure, I can't remember the exact location of the pickup. thanks

7qt is mighty big!

Im not sure if it would clear the k-member.

I would say keep a 5qt pan on it.

From what I hear 5qt isn't good enough for a HV pump. Yet, I talked to someone that's been building SBC's for a very long time, and he said he's never had a problem. That's also with people spinning motor up to 7k. I want to take pics, and maybe someone can tell me if the pan is too dented. thanks
