Anyone know of a front sump pan (289/302) that clears a main girdle?

Need one for the 331 going in the 77 Comet. The contact point is the main stud nuts on the rear main cap. I tried a 7 qt 68 Ford pickup pan but have screwed it up trying to clearance it. It had better clearance than the car 5 qt pan. All the aftermarket deep or otherwise larger front sump pans are enlarged stock pans, so they have the same issue. I don't want to try this again with a $200 aftermarket pan. The pan I ruined was a freeby.

Bought one off ebay with pickup for 80ish. It didn't hit my girdle. And I had the one that doesn't require main cap maching.(means they are closer to pan.) No problems.

Milodon gave me plenty of clearance on the Canton girdle + windage tray.
