Need help finding oil pan...

I know most of you guys are front sumpers, but I need help in finding an oil pan that will work on a Dart Sportsman block with a 4.100" stroke. It needs to be rear sump...7-8 quarts.

I talked to Canton, they said they didn't think they had anything that would work. Moroso has a pan, but they advertise the max stroke as being 4".

I figured someone here has ran into this before and I would appreciate any info.

If your crank has a reduced size rod journal, like a Honda or (gasp) SBC 2.000then the pan will probably work---historiclly, the tightest place is by the oil pump mount anyway

The Morosos have been better producys overal than the Cantons

It's a regular SBC 2.100" rod journal. Cleveland mains.

I had a Canton front T-sump road race pan on a Windsor before...and it had a 4.100" stroke. I didn't have any problems with it, but I figured I'd ask regarding this rear sump pan before I buy one.
