why the hell is that engine sitting up so high and at such an angle if that is the case?
.

Put this under a FE or B/RB and you'll know why.
Consider the distance from the centerline of the crank to the bottom of this pan. Remember, the pan rail on a Chevy is the centerline of the crank. On a B/RB the pan rail about 3" below. So with the same pan depth, the B/RB is going to have about an additional 3" you have to deal with if you use a pan that deep. Its a nice pan and the bottom is slanted to account for the tilt of the engine in a V drive, but damn its deep.
