I don't have all the specs, but it's a good 1 1/2" shallower than the truck pan.

I am going to be running a 5.3 in my 73 with the stock th400 trans. I will be bagging my truck in the future. I know that your truck is bagged, no problems with clearance on your truck?

I've heard that with this oil pan kit, it will be at the same height as a th400pan...from other pics I've seen the stock truck pan hangs below the stock front crossmember by 1"1/2-2".....and my crossmember sits on the ground.
