I was just trying to catch your attention with the subject title, looks like it worked

I'm going to build my own oil pan for my BBC. I've got the 500 or 600 for a new oil pan but I'd rather spend that on other things. I'd buy one off of eBay for half that but I'm not sure how deep the oil pan can be. A friend of mine bought a Dooley oil pan for a BBC jet boat that measured 7" deep, he had about a 1/4" left over between the pan and the bottom of the hull. All the Milodon and Moroso marine oil pans I've seen measure at least 7 3/4" deep and usually 8" deep or more.
I'm asking others here with BBC's and shorter jet boat hulls to measure their oil pans depth.
Thanks in adavance! The oil pan that I have will definately not work!
What do you think of that early 70ish "mailbox" air scoop?
