Default Will this Milodon oil pan clear power steering?

I'm considering a Milodon Stroker Low Profile #30908 oil pan for my motor and I have some concerns regarding fit. Has anyone used this oil pan in a 1972 with power steering and TH400? Any problems?

Here is a link:

I had a similar MOROSO pan and it would not work with Hooker Competition headers.

I have that pan and I had some oil problems. They used to advertise it as a 7 quart pan and now they lowered it to 6 quarts. If you fill it to there specs it will aerate the oil. The most I can run is 4.5 quarts. Be careful and watch the oil gauge if you race it, it cost me a motor.

I actually thought I had that problem with my Moroso pan. Advertised as 7qt plus filter but I always seemed to only get 7qts TOTAL with the big filter. I always went by the dipstick.
When I took it off recently, there was a lot of oil still in the sump. That big square addition holds a lot of oil! I think the rear of the car needs to be raised up to get all the oil out.
I'll know for sure next weekend when we install it in a friend's 78. I'm going to keep accurate track of the oil we put in it.

I have this pan in my '69. I have power steering and TH400 trans and fit is great with no issues. (427 sb engine)
No problem, even with Hooker Super Competion Headers.
