The orange 7" deep pan shown by noonie usually no problem. Often called a "road race" or "circle track" pan, they usually offer a bit better ground clearance than OE C3 pan. Sometimes exhaust fit crowded with this sort of pan but I'd rather not worry about ripping a panbottom; this sort's my pick. FYI ... because circletrack pan are baffled for left turn only, (& if you run a circletrack pan that looks like this in a street car) you should correct/fab a left side door & run a centered pickup ... both as found inside RRpan. Otherwise, motor may starve during right turn.
Can't say the same about shiney pan shown by TMP. Those often called a "T-sump" or "drag race pan" & often hang down even lower than OE C3 pan. More often than not, their depth about 8 1/4" - 8 3/4" .
