i just looked up the pan,, i dont know if your Y pipe will clear behind it. i say stick with the stock pan if your riunning a y pipe. long tube headers it would be fine, but im not sure bout these.

Ive got the Moroso 6qt. Jegs part #710-20182. With filter it holds 7qts. Very satisfied. The y-pipe from my Edel. TES fits between the pan and the frame cross member. Thats on an 89 350.

I run the Moroso pan with SLP 1.75" headers into single cat y pipe (minus cat of course) with no fitment problems between headers/y pipe and pan.

I have the 7-quart Canton road-race oil pan on my 355, and the Y-pipe for the Hooker Super Comp shorty headers fits perfectly. I did have a clearance problem between the front bottom of the pan and the center link (steering), but new motor mounts gave me plenty of room.

just stay away from anything that has a kicked out sump and you should be ok, I'm running the moroso 6 qt pan w/TES headers and it fits ok. It's kinda tough to seal the header at the doughnut and its a snug fit between the crossmember and the pan, but it works!!
