Oil Pan problem on 5.7L swap

OK so the aluminum oil pan is not going to work unless I want to be modifying it for a week. All the channel for the gasket would have to be filled in, the bolt holes would have to be filled in, the holes would then have to be drilled out so close to the wall of the pan that I would have to mill out the wall in order to use torx head bolts, you wont get a hex head to fit unless to. add meat to the inner side of the pan.

I would like to know what you guys did for pans, this was not anticipated so I am under the gun to fab or buy a pan that works. I wont use a hammer to fab a pan, just not my style. Any input would be appreciated seeing I need a pan by the end of the week. Thanks

Just ordered a Kevko pan 1079 NRH with the pick up for the 5.7 L31. Dimensions are very close to my aluminum pan that came off the 4.3L. Be here in 2 or 3 days. We will see.
