Default Oil Pan for Vortec Block?

Any recommendations on a performance oil pan, that will fit the 1986-1991 SBC Vortec Block, that I'm putting in my '74? This is the last of the Gen 1 SBC's that came with the one piece rear seal, roller cam and the dipstick on the opposite side of the previous iterations (on the Passenger side, instead of the Driver's side).

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated, because I know that fitting oil pans to these cars, can be tricky.

Check Canton. I got an oil pan for my '95 roller block from them. Possibly the same pan? Put it in an '81.

actually the SBC ran till 02 in the conventional form, trucks and full size vans had the tbi engine you are referring to (with flat tappet cam ) till 95. then 96 GM introduced the vortec motor with new designed heads with combustion chambers based on the the 94-96 Impala SS lt1 heads. These receive raised runners and a different bolt pattern. You can use these oil pans if there is clearance in you car.
