A Fox body oil pan should work. You can get OEM, aftermarket, or used ones.

Yeah, the Fox oil pan may not work for you. I have installed one in a 6th gen with 302. It's been a long time since I did it, and I'm probably forgetting some details that are showstoppers for your situation. The Fox oil pan has front and rear sumps, both with drain plugs. The rear sump is the larger one, and is also where the oil pump pick up is. The front sump's drain is at the front, which may not work for you. The center of the pan is is raised for K member / suspension clearance.
