I would just go for a stock pan since you can probably pick up a used one for cheap. Did you only mess up the pan and nothing else? You would be lucky if the pan is the only thing you fubared. If you get an aftermarket K-member your options may be greater in the oil pan department.

More Performance has one with the internal baffling, to keep most of the oil in the bottom end!

You could go with a dry sump system. The dry sump pan is very small, and the oil is held in a seperate unit. You would have alot of ground clearance. Then you could run at least 2 gallons of oil, depending on how big you want the tank. Here's some places that will give you race grade componentry. They are:

Armstrong Race Engines:

They do make regular oil pans for wet sump applications. I've got the feeling that's the way you are really leaning.

For dry sump pumps:

The now supply ASA racing series with this unit. They use the LS1 engine as a claimer engine. Katech also uses them.
