Wedge TR8 oil sump pans

Anybody have any ideas on where to obtain an oil pan and pickk up to fit a TR8 at a reasonable price? I would like to set up my spare block.
 
Not at a resonable price. Last one I saw sold for $400. Engines are cheap and easy to find compared to oil pans, timing covers, flywheels, and bellhousings. Do you have a damaged one, or do you not have one at all? I have fixed several that have rotted out along the bottom. Not too difficult with a welder and some time. I could fab one up if I just had the top edge that bolts to the motor. You could also modify a pickup from a Range Rover if you had to. Just a matter of remaking the tube. Woody just sold one. He might have another.
 
I have a 3.9 liter out of a disco I wanted to set up as a complete spare. I suppose I could take the Land Rover sump off, cut off the bottom and fabricate one that way? With nice baffles, etc.
