With those style pans there will sometimes be interference issues with the headers. It just depends on which headers you have. On my BB Suburban I have a Moroso 8 quart pan that has a straight down sump. It does hang down a bit low, but not any lower than the headers. Of course the burb isn't lowered anymore than from the extra weight of the BB.

That particular pan looks like the front of it is lower than a stock pan. It also may be an issue when installed in our trucks......something more to look at.
