I put a 400 with a milodon pan in my '67 LeMans. The pan would only fit by dropping the engine straight down so the oil pan went behind crossmemeber. Then my oil pan JUST cleared crossmember. But I noticed that later motors with the 5 bolt mount arrangement could put the pan sump into the crossmember, depending on how tolerances stack up. I guess thats what you're seeing, if you've got the right pan for that chassis.
