will a cast aluminum deep oil pan fit underneath a C4 will scraping? will the extra 2qts really add to the tranmissions life, do those fins on the cast aluminum pans contribute to cooling the tranny fluid?
 
I'm trying to come up with a good analogy for those 2 extra quarts of oil in the Trans? It's like saying, "Will I be less drunk with 2 more pints of blood in my veins? I really don't think so? Nor will 2 extra quarts of oil cool down a Trans. You see, oil retains heat. So, it might dissipate a small amount, but not a significant amount I would assume? The aluminum case was built for rigidity to the whole engine drivetrain. I think the 2 extra quarts of oil was needed for the expanded mass to make the Trans a more flexless component.
Extra oil will not add more life to the component. It's just more dirty oil contaminated inside the unit.
Will the Trans fit in a C4? No clue on that one?
