Default L-82 to L-48 Oil Pan Question

Hello All! I need to replace my L-82 oil pan and am having a heck of a time finding one. Would I have enough clearance to use an L-48 pan, if I simply took out the windage tray and replaced the main studs with bolts?

Long Island Corvette has what you need. Www.licorvette.com part # 38 26A. The drain plug is in a different spot that's the only difference.

Thanks Zoix, however that doesn't look like my current pan on the inside of my 75. Mine only has side scrapers and a rear sump baffle. The pan I tried that looked like this wouldn't fit.

Default Pan

Not sure why it wouldn't fit? I put one on a 74 L82. The engine was out of the car at the time.

When I rebuilt my L-82 in 2014 I looked to replace the OEM pan since it was a little beat up on the pan flange...no luck finding an L-82 OEM type pan..they are not available. I reused my L-82 OEM pan after cleanup and flange straightening.
