71 dart 360 mag.oil pan fitment issue

Hi,everyone I have chatted about this oil pan fitment issue of mine but was'st able to be real specific.I bought my 71 dart swinger 6 kmember car with a 2002 360 mag.ram motor in the 6 kframe.the car came without an oil pan on it! the rear sump hangs 2' lower than center link and center link is about an inch from sump.the motor mounts are trans dapt for 6 to an v8 application.I was told numerous times to go with a LA 360 oil pan even though my sump is in the rear.In order to get pan on I see I would have to take center link(drag bar)off first.I don't see how that would still work center link still to close! would even a special made oil pan work?there is about 2" clearance of bell housing to dome of firwall before touching.was told numerous times that my 6 kframe should'nt be the issue.motor seems to sit lower though but I have no idea if this is normal?:oops:
