You need to do what ever you can to get the oil sump away from the spining crank.so putting a shorter oil pan on would be no good unless you can blow out the sides of the pan and make it fatter.

I think what is being said is you have to keep the oil away from the crank. That being said I would think a vette pan would work. But I doubt it will with the stock k-member. Maybe it would fit with an after market one. I would think it will bolt right up since the blocks are the same.
So, I guess the real question should be what benefit is there of going to a different oil pan. As for ground clearance you won't get any with that stock k-member.

sure.....give me some measurements:
- from the block rail (where the pan mounts on the block) down to the bottom of the front
- how far from the front to the point where the rear part (sump) starts (sloped down)
- how wide the "wings" are
a picture would be nice too
