Default Milodon oil pan is not lining up with block.

Oil pan bolt hole alignment is off for all the holes with the engine block. The alignment is close at the back end but gets worse toward the front. I have a late '70s 302 block stroked to 331 (steel girdle, Melling HV oil pump). Toward the front the holes are half covered with the pan lip. Is this common? Should I just enlarge the holes and use bigger washers if need be? Thanks for your help.
