Default oil pan for 4.5 stroke

Anyone have a good recommendation on an oil pan for a 4.5 stroke? Was hoping I could get away with something off the shelf, if not I'll be forced the run a pan spacer. I have very little froom in the front under the pan to clear a crossmember. Worst case, I'll have to modify my tubular front end.

That's a big stroke. I'm assuming you're not using a stock block.

I only saw one guy trying to stuff that much stroke in an LSX block - careful of the oil galley, he couldn't get his to fit with any amount of grinding and ended up going with an RHS block.

The Dailey and Aviaid dry sump pans (newer billet) clear a 4.5" stroke. You will need to machine down half of your ARP main studs but it will clear w/out a spacer.

I don't have room for a dry sump pump, I already checked...it's real tight there.

We could build a custom pan for you if need be.
