I have a 1932 Ford Phaeton with a 8BA engine and the Ford center sump oil pan. I was thinking about changing it to the Mercury rear sump pan. My question is about the depth of the two pans. Will the ground clearance increase by changing to the Mercury pan vs the Ford center sump pan?
 
The truck pan 8RT is 9" from the pan rail to the lowest point. It has the rear sump and the large" clean-out" cover.
