You can get an idea from Project Snow White on here. Looks like it's hanging down a bit, but if it is, it's only 1" more than the Sikky Pan would.
None of the pictures of the pan in his build are great angles, but you can get an idea from seeing all of them together.
Another thing to keep in mind here is that his motor's sitting a lot lower than standard mounts due to his mounting solution.
I saw him putting a truck intake on that thing and was like "Wait a sec...."

Also, from what I understand, Garagistic used to sell the Canton pan as their swap solution.91 318i LS Swap In Progress - Build Thread

The entire point of a clutch kick is to put a ton of shock into your drivetrain to spin the tires.
Many people haphazardly fab up shit motor mounts in their back yard that hold up well, man. It's really not rocket science.
Regardless, this guy has a great reputation in the swap community -- if you want to run polls, head over to the BMW LS Swap group on Facebook and ask them how many of their mounts have grenaded (none).
I'm 100% confident if they ever broke (they won't), he'd send me a brand new set built however I wanted them.91 318i LS Swap In Progress - Build Thread

Nice! there is a big difference in price from the canton to sikky oil pan.
Oil Pan: $359
Dipstick $28
Gasket: $28
Oil Pickup $35
Stud Kit: $13
Filter Relocation Block: $62
Filter Relocation Kit: $75
Comes out to $600. Everything purchased from Ebay except the Gasket that I picked up from Summit.
So to get the same setup from Sikky, it comes out to $971 for me. And depending on the state you live in, they'll charge you tax on top of that. It was showing as $55 for tax before I put in my shipping info.
The only thing I regret is not being fancy and getting the gold colored pan. Probably going to cover it with a skid plate anyway.91 318i LS Swap In Progress - Build Thread

You could have an M50 swapped in and running in a weekend. No way you could do that with an ls at least not your first one.
