The 187, 699 as far as factory pans. I'm using a Milodon 30930 which has extra capacity. In my setup it clears everything as is, though the idler does come very close in an extreme right turn.

Typically, a swap into any passenger car requires a passenger car oil pan. They are "kinda" center sump, but actually a little forward of center. Trucks & vans normally use rear sump pans.
273, 318 and 340's use the same pan while 360 LA engines have their own, which has a smaller and different rear pan seal. I keep forgetting what the Magnum engines use as far as seals.
If you want a performance oriented pan, then it can get into a lot more variables, but still center sump for a car installation.
You need to provide a little more info.

#699 or #187 for a stock size or Milodon 30930, Moroso 20760 for a deep pan, Charlies has nice racing pans. I'm using the Moroso on my 440.
