SomeCarGuy -- regarding the trans pan depth... I speak from experience... In the past (20+ years ago), I had tried using a Mopar deep trans pan on my 727 and the extra volume of fluid it carried always resulted in overflowing out of the dip stick tube upon hi-g-force left-hand turns, worse when breaking and making that LH hard turn. I'd swap back to the standard pan.. problem gone... swap back to the deep pan.. problem returns... back to the standard pan.. problem gone. This condition would only occur under competition autocross with very sticky tires creating hi-g-force. Naturally, no one would drive that way on the street/hwy, right? I suppose if there were internal oil slosh baffles within the trans pan, the problem might go away, but I've never seen such a pan.
