Oil Pan Clearance

I have a '72 convertible with a ZZ4 and stock oil pan. The front end is fairly low and as a result sadness has ensued. While out driving today we passed over something in the road that punched a hole in the pan. Luckily we were able to pull off and shut down before any further damage could occur.

My question is - does anyone know of a lower profile pan that will give me more road clearance? I really don't want to raise the front end.

Many thanks

I would also like to know because I hit a chunk of concrete some idiot dropped on the road. I didn't get a hole but I got a large crease on the pan and scratched headers.

(I had the same problem, w/ the stock pan I was 3inches from the ground.

I switched to a Moroso pan w/ kick out sumps and gained 3inches +/- in clearance, I highly recommend it.
