There are three (3) different 351-C pans sold as stock. All the pans hold 5 qts and all are front sump. One is a simple bucket used on trucks. #2 has a rudimentary baffle around the pump pickup. The 3rd type used on Boss-351 and 351-HO has the baffle around the pickup as well as a simple scraper on the sloping rear part of the pan.

Not sure how hard you guys drive your sedans but in a stock Pantera with narrow tires, cornering forces are high enough to slosh oil away from the pump pickup, starving the crank bearings and eventually causing engine failure. So we use a 10-quart fully baffled pan from Aviaid; some engine shops in the U.S will not sell an engine with a stock pan to Pantera owners due to the large number of engine failures. It fits as stock. In the case of a 351-W, Aviaid has a similar pan for that engine too.
