The picture gives a real bad angle. In fact, after you pointed it out I was concerned so just now I went to the garage to check. I have some -10AN fittings laying around and I mocked them up on the oil pan. I could use 45 degree fittings and point them at angle towards the rear of the car and they clear perfectly. The oil pan is -8AN, so the ones I would need would be even smaller in circumference. You freaked me out for a sec!
