Question for MK III w/FE & Canton 15-820 Pan

A quick question for any of you running a FE with a Canton 15-820 pan. Is the bottom of the pan even with bottom of frame tubes or higher?

I was running a FE w/Canton 15-820. I shelled the engine and pan. Engine is now out, building on a new block. I'm considering a girdle on this one, but it will add 3/16" to bottom of block, making pan 3/16" lower. I don't remember how close mine was to the bottom of the frame tubes. I don't really want the pan lower than the bottom of the frame tubes.

Would someone take a quick look and let me know, please? I'm to the point of ordering another pan, and possibly a girdle.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

Mine extends just below frame rails, maybe 3/16 of an inch.
