Oil pan options with Dyno Don's headers

I've built a new engine for my Firebird and the only thing I'm waiting on to install the dang thing is an oil pan that fits the dang car with dadgum Dyno Don's headers and y-pipe!!! I've built the car to turn, this 383 should haul the mailand I need something better than a stock pan but a $360 Canton pan seems not only overpriced but overkill for an essentially trackable street car. What else is there besides stock and overkill? I've been through 3 different Champ oil pans and even their stock appearing pan is all wrong in every critical area! Of the 3 pans only 1 has any hope of fitting with the y-pipe but then I'm not too keen on cutting up my $270 y-pipe or putting longtubes on the car when I already have some of the best manifolds available! Anyone want a Champ oil pan? All 3 fit with longtubes, have only been mocked up but never installed, 2 have windage trays and all 3 have matching pickup tubes and they're all just taking up room now. PN's CP50LTRB with pickup for standard volume pump, CP60LTRB with pickup for HV pump, and CP40RB with pickup for HV pump. The 50 and 60's windage tray is interchangeable but I have only 1 and the 40 has one of its own. The block has a 1-piece RMS, please help if you've found a solution to my problem.

Re: Oil pan options with Dyno Don's headers

This is the pan I used on my IROC with Dyno Dons header's and Y pipe. Only thing I had to do was to clearance the pan rail next to my stock starter. I welded the y pipe. To avoid using a clamp. Very tight but a slip of paper clears everything. After 3 track days and a few thousand miles no signs of it hitting k member or the pan the pan is $187 at Summit https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ctr-15-010t it is stock size but has a trap door and baffles.
