Default Oil pan help

I am in need of help about which oil pan to go with. I have a 97 camaro with 383 3.75 crank and 5.7 rods. I've been looking at this summit oil pan but didn't know if it would work with my car or not (hitting the cross member)? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G3603/

Not trying to spend a ton of money on one but need the clearence for my stroker kit and advice or what you've used on ur 383's will be greatly appreciated.

sometimes they clear......if you're using a bulky rod they can hit......the canton is a really nice piece........bit pricey but its worth it.......got trap door baffling, windage tray, crank scraper and a back baffle........nice pan
