On the Moss combo, the pan's inside edge contacts the pump's outside edge..
Nothing to do with the pick up.

NOTE:   I fitted an ALI oil pan from Denis Welch a couple of years ago.

The instructions for the pan specifically stated  that the sump pick-up had
to be shortened by about .5" or the pan would not fit.   

To achieve this , I needed to cut the .5" from the tube that connects the
screened pickup to the  pump.

Yes... The Moss supplied Al sump pan and the Moss supplied oil pump won't
fit. I've waited about a year for an answer from their tech dept.

Hi

     I am having trouble fitting an after market aluminum oil pan to a 
3000 engine.  The inside of the oil pan is hitting the corner of the oil 
pump preventing the bolts from lining up with the block. Has anyone seen 
this before?  If I removed about 1/8 " or so from the corner of the pump 
I could probably get the pan to fit.


                                                                         
                Thanks
 
Wayne
