Bob, if you were successful with raising the exhaust to the point where it's level with the sump on the 4R70W, Your new low point is probably the nub that hangs down from the middle of the sump.
I suggest using an AODE pan and filter to gain an extra inch or so of clarance. Maybe your AOD pan would work also, butt I'm not sure about that.

I did the same thing on my 4R70W - used an AOD pan to get  rid of that ridiculous nub sticking down.
 

Cara’s 65 coupe sold for $40,000 a year ago, but was in Norway.  Remember when she and I built it and changed color from poppy red to silver blue?

Started life as zero option 65 coupe T code with 13” wheels.  Left Tx as 5.0 with 351w heads and Foxbody EFI, AOD, power windows and locks, 15” styled steel wheels with K/H disc brakes and, of course, MustangSteve power brakes and factory  style AC.  I sure wish we had never sold it.

Thanks Ron. Now we know an AOD pan will also work. I also took the opportunity to fit a drain plug.

Thank you, thank you, Ron...and Barry.  I just happen to have an AOD pan available.  Man I love this group...All kinds of good info
 

Gentlemen, I must CLARIFY some  BAD info I gave you. I stated that I used an AOD pan on my 4R70W - that is not correct. To use the  AOD pan on a 4R70W you must drill an additional hole in the pan and plug the other hole. I got my 4R70W flat pan from my son and he said it came off  a 94 E150 2wd Econoline van with a 5.0L and a 4R70W. I also used the filter called out for that application. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused. Blame it on a senior moment......sorry!
