Will a deep sump CSG-649 pan clear the cross member in a 84 F150?

Does anyone here know *definitively* if the deep sump pan from a 77 vintage CSG-649 engine will fit into a 84 F150 which came with a shallow front pan, and very deep rear sump? It *looks* like it should fit- but with near zero clearance to the cross member. Please let me know if you have seen one in a 80-86 F150, or know for certain that it will not fit. I know the engine fits- but need to switch pans because the dipstick tube is in the front for the deep sump, and the rear of the block for the deep rear sump.

I suppose if it doesn't have clearance, I might be able to add spacers under the motor mounts to gain the inch ort so I might need.

Thanks in advance for the advice guys.

I can't answer your question, but why not switch the engine over to the truck sump, pan, and dipstick?

the stick on the csg is forward of the dist, vs the 84 which is at the rear of the motor. The CSG stick with the 84 pan will hit the crank because the shallow pans pushes it over. Also, the 84 pan holds little oil in the shallow section- so they just don't work together. I do not want to drill the block to use the 84 style stick - though I still have the stick.
