Default new to ls1,oil pan question

I hope i am in the right forum.I will be putting a 4.8 truck engine in my 48 chev sedan but am worried the truck oil pan will hang down too low.What options do I have for a shallower pan? I know Holley sells one but is a bit pricey,just wondering if a guy could get some clearance with a car oil pan,but I'm not sure what is compatible.Any advise?

My favorite is the gm "muscle car pan". It's priced well around $180 and at least in an s10 it was less than a 1/4" below the engine crossmember.

There's a "sticky" up above concerning oil pans. Best to read thru that, dimensions are mostly included. I have a C5 LS2 pan on my Rambler swap...
