You are using both a Canton oil pan and Canton pickup correct? I remember when my friend was assembling his motor he had to end up using his stock pickup because the one he had didn't fit either. I don't remember if it was made by Canton.

I would call Canton directly. I have been to their office before and their tech help is pretty good.

Im not sure if its the same on the cleveland swap..but my canton pickup had to be tweeked alittle at the mounting tab to make it work. this messed with the clearances a little but wasnt hard to get it back around 3/8" oh and you can use clay to measure the pickup clearance or you can measure from gasket area on block to pickup and then measure from gasket area of pan to bottom of pan and this should get you close enough. hope that made sense???
