351c oil pan problems

Hello i have a 351c that im installing in my 55 f100. I have installed a MII ifs. The problem i have is that i have changed my oil pan from a front sump to rear along with the pickup tube. Its better but still not great. The oil pump is in its stock location witch the pan has a small bump out to cover it.To me it looks like i would have to cut the front of the pan down and maybe move the oil pump.

Is there another oil pump that is shorter so i can raise the front of the pan?

Thanks!!!

Move motor mounts for more oil pan clearance.
