Two piece oil pan in a 34?

[burly]

I am aiming to use the two piece (truck) 59a oil pan on my 1934 with original wishbones. Wondered if anyone on here has tried this application? If so did you experience any clearance issues or did it require any modification? Thanks guys!

I did it once. The flange where the to parts join is very close to the wishbone , but it fit. 59a in a stock 34 tudor

Not sure if there would be clearance issues with a 2 piece pan .This pic shows a 36 pan in my '33 w/mech brakes(engine is a '36 also).You see the curve between the starter - downwards. You can also see how close the wishbone is to the pan. I did remove 3 leaves from the front spring as the car sat to high for me.The later pans are straight and if car is lowered slightly the wishbone can interfere with the pan.
