Default 68 454 oil pan clearance

My 68 project car is a roller I bought without an engine, I got a really good low mileage 454 out of a motor home, went to test fit and the oil pan hits the center link, anyone have a part number for the correct oil pan? I understand the 454 is the same platform as the 396 so I've ordered all 396 motor mounts and frame mounts, the new frame mounts were same height of ones on the car but they were 3/4 of an inch more forward Any help is appreciated

Yes you just need a big block Camaro pan,motor mounts a little further forward to clear the firewall and the dist. still will be close,
You'll also need a big block heater core kit if you want to hook your heater up.
