Default oil pan and header help please.

I'm in need of a front sump oil pan-I know some people use the GTO oil pans but I would like to set the engine closer to the fire wall, so I'm needing at least 2 if not 4 inches off of the back side of the stock GTO pan to clear my cross member.
Is there an after market steel pan that I can get and or modify?
Also, My options for headers are stock F-body for the pass side and GTO stock header for the Drivers side.
Does any one know of some smog legal (CAFE-Cali legal) headers that are block "hugger" design? Or of some stock headers that are close to the block and channel down?

I'm going to emulate supra8's swap by putting an LSX engine into a MK2 supra with a t56 trans. I'm tired of the 2jzgte and all the turbo pains, issues, and expenses.
Thanks all.

No help yet, just ordered my ls1 package from a GTO but will likely run into the same issue. Also went w/ the LS1 for the same reason, just tired of the RB25DET and all of that hassle.
