Oil pan for 350

Im looking for a new oil pan for my 72 cutlass supreme. Its the 5.7L 350. Had to get mine removed cause the plug was stuck in there and just spinning. Its dented too on the bottom so figured i would just have the garage replace it...

So i bought this one from summit racing,
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...ake/oldsmobile

Supposed to fit my model but doesnt seem like it will...its basically touching the crossmember and cause of the extra hump, the exhaust pipe that came across to connect the manifolds wont go back in.

How do i get this fixed? Is there anyplace i can buy a stock oil pan like the one that was on it? They dont seem to exist, all of them seem to have that hump in front. I suppose i could get a new exhaust system, new headers and everything but that will cost alot and it will still have clearance issues with the crossmember possibly.

Im at my wits end...seriously. Im gonna include some pics of the oil pan that came off and a couple with the new one on. Sorry if pictures are crappy. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

That's a bbo oil pan style I have ran them with no clearance issues on my sbo in my 72 but I run headers . I have a stock oil pan here I can clean up and ship to you The plug is not stuck. Just pay for shipping. Make sure your engine mounts are correct of they have been replaced I cant see why that oil pan hits there. Im using the same summit brand oil pan.

yeah check your motor mounts too like copper says, mine were so sacked I had to lift the engine to access the bolt, once replaced I discovered they were the reason why the PO cut the bottom of the fan shroud away to clear the fan
