Custom oil pan for a 13b
I need to build a custom oil pan for a 13b the stock one interferes with the steering rack.
The oil pan needs to look like the drawing below. What I am trying to get a sense of is how small can I make measurement A and B. Can A = 0 inches and B = .25 inches. How small is too small? Please keep in mind drawing not to scale. Thank you in advance for any constructive advice.

It is for a Datsun 280ZX. I am trying to avoid cutting into the tranny tunnel. From my trial fits and measuring I have just enough space if the oil pan is as skinny as possible above the steering rack.

Thank you for your suggestion. But I think your are missing my question.
I don't need nor want to purchase a pan. I am going to build one. And what I am looking for some feedback/wisdom to the design of it.
What is the smallest angel of incline from the back of the engine to the sump can it be? (Refer to picture)
Can A and B be 0 inches or lets say 1/8 inches and no slop? (Refer to picture)
