Oil pan hitting center link

Ok i am baffled! i pulled a 350 out of my 87 fire bird. It was out of a 81 vette. I put in aearly model 350 with the left side dip stick and now the oil pan rubs on the ceter link and when turning left the right inner tie rod end hits the oil pan. Any idea like is the a oil pan for left side dipstick motors for a 87 firebird.

Can you get us pics? I can't see the tie rod end or centerlink hitting oil pan? My old 350 has driver side dipstick oil pan and there's inches to spare.
