A road race pan that has kicked out sump ... or a suitably re-baffled oval track pan w/ kicked out sump. Either ranges 6 1/2" to 7 1/2" deep & hold about 8qt with filter & have plenty of ground clearance.

Try armondosracingoilpans.com I built a 496 stroker last spring and couldn't find what I needed from the regulars. Holds 8 quarts, has all the baffles and great ground clearance. He's located in L.A. but builds for everywhere. Check him out; someone else on the forum told me about him.

It is pretty darn hard to beat the quality and fit of an Aviad pan.
