who runs these? How is it possible to run one? Even after raising the car a bunch it was still too close to the ground. I was unable to launch the car at the track in fear of contact.
IIRC these are 9" deep.
Im at the point of just pulling the pan and buying a 7 quart style.
Of coarse this will involving adding the holes for the swinging pickup, but I have learned over the years very few things are ready OOTB.

Bob, I've run into the same problem with the deep pan, even the standard 7" is to deep. Seem like the pan manufactures would look at the currant trend and see race or even street cars are not a foot off the pavement anymore. I'm either going to make another pan for the hemi or buy a Milodon#31161, I think that's the # and put a drag link tube thru it. Heck, I've shortend my 6" pan.  
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

This one??
Yep thats the exact pan...
The newer ones produced for a while now have the square hole, my pan is round just like that....
My tires are 28" tall so they are above average in height.
That pan was a waste of effort in my opinion. Im sure guys make it work, but Im willing to give up capacity for ground clearance. I figured a 7 qt pan along with the 3 quart accumulator should be plenty.

I ran one of those pans on my GTX for 2 passes... Could not hardly even tie the car down in the trailer, as I tightened the straps, the pan would scrap the trailer floor. Had to put a block of wood under the K frame to not crush the pan while going down the road.
When the 499 goes into my RoadRunner I will have to modify a dragster pan. A 7qt pan will hang to low for that car.

didn't they make 2 versions of that pan? 1 was deeper and held 10 qts if i remember right and the shallower 1 held 9. correct me if i'm wrong.
Your not wrong, we have the "low profile" one # MIL31470. It's still the lowest part of the car!!
Any pictures of alternatives?
