Typically, if you have a special oil pan then you need a matching oil pump
pickup and dipstick.
For a deep sump pan, a standard pickup may not sit close enough to the bottom
to provide any benefit, in addition to interfering with the windage tray or
baffle arrangement.
The purpose of a deep-sump pan is to move the oil level away from the rotating
assembly. If you install a deep sump pan and then put in enough oil to reach
the 'full' level on a standard dipstick, then one of the benefits of the deep
pan has been nullified.
There should be no problem (other than ground clearance cautions) with a deep
pan. Pans with side kickouts need to have the front corners of the sump angled
specifically to clear the Tiger's crossmember. Aviaid and Canton make
Tiger-specific road race pans. I have the Canton one and it fits well, with
"sufficient" clearance to the crossmember to allow installation and removal of
the pan without removing the engine or crossmember from the car. However,
removal of the engine out the top, as per the shop manual procedure, is not
possible.
Hope this helps,
