What is the sump depth of a 289 Ford oil pan vs Shelby T pan?

IIRC the Shelby pan is 8.5" deep, but I can't find any info on the Ford pan
Looking to gain some ground clearance thanks

They use the same dip stick, would guess the depth is the same.  The T-pan flares out at the sides, 7qt capacity vs. 5qt.

Thanks for confirming the pan depths are equal
I'll go with Aviaid since they offer several 7.5" and 6.5" sump depth pans and pickups and dipsticks
