Oil pan suggestion

Still looks like that oil pan would fit an early B. I'd like to know where to get one, haven't found one anywhere yet. I see some members use deep milodon pans that seem to fit, but I can't tell which one is the right one to buy.
The fan clearance has me concerned too.
 
I found these pics poking around the nets today and thought I would post them for reference. Maybe they'll help somebody along the way.

This is a '64 Dodge with what looks like one of the many aftermarket oil pans available on eBay and elsewhere. You can tell by the gold iridium showing where the paint is removed and the taper along the passenger side is the pan. I'm no expert but this could be a later k-member, note the sway bar brackets in the k-member valleys. The tranny mount position may help I'd if the k-member is later or not. idk.

Steering linkage is tight but decent room otherwise.

This is the pan I'm referring to -

Looks just like the pan I bought from 440 Source (post#34) and I still don't have it in the car yet. The minute I do, I'll be on here with the results. I'm wondering if it's going to work myself but when comparing measurements it's very close.
 
I've got the Milodon 30903 on my 65 Bel. You have to notch the K member for clearance at the right front corner of the pan. Not a big deal. It's a low profile pan so there is plenty of clearance under the pan, unless the car is sitting right down on the ground. Really wish somebody would reproduce the max wedge pan for these cars.
 
I went with the 440 Source (Part #121-1003) 7 quart pan and all it needed was a minor trim to the "K" member on the passenger's side. Clears the steering with no problems.

Does that pan have a 971 stamp on it? I have a pan that looks like that one and am looking for the correct pickup.
