Default ls1 oil pan wont clear 4.125 stroke someone help.

like I said was excited to put my 427 on my k member today and the oil pan is hitting windage tray any ideas or experience?. Or does anyone know of a pan that will clear tray and k member??? I called tsp they said they weren't sure. I tried grinding the pan down on the inside seems to be working but I do not know if I will be able to enough to get it down enough to clear? please help thanks

Now I had the same problem with a 4 inch stroke and I had the cut the **** out of my windage tray and grind down the oil pan on the front. I checked everything with no pan gasket to make sure I had enough clearance. I got mine on and no later problems. Hope that with the Eighth inch longer stroke u can clear it. But I'm sure you can

It's a shame that no one makes a "spacer" for oil pans . . .
