Pickup would fit fine if the pan was 3/8" deeper. Since this parts combination is common and used in many crate hemis I guess the problem has occured before. What is the tried and tested solution?

Did MP actually build and sell and complete crate Hemis built from the World style block? 68 Satellite, 383 with stock 906’s, 3550lbs, 11.18@123 Dealer for Comp Cams/Indy Heads

Parts man could have thought all Hemi pickups are the same or all 70 pans are the same and substituted something he had in stock. If they are correct then it would not be the first time I had to tweek a pickup. Last edited by GomangoCuda; 09/20/20 09:45 AM. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
