SHORT OIL PAN FOR 4.8L

I need help. I have a 2007 4.8L Vortec motor, and the oil pan hangs really low. Any info on a shorter oil pan that would work with this motor would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and responses.

Is that not just a Gen III small block? I believe the LS1 F-body pans would then fit...

Use the Camaro/Firebird LS1 oil pan.
