The consequence is that the 302-1 is about 1/2" deeper, but that turned out to be a safe compromise.

Great pics and will also be ordering this pan. Would you mind sharing if anything else is needed. Does the factory dip stick tube get used. I’m going to be attempting my first 5.3 swap into my 72 suburban. Thanks much
