are you sure its hitting the pan? Are you talking about a baffle in the pan? If its just the baffle, you can modify(beat it down) till it stops hitting

There's no reason why a 400 crank won't fit in a standard oil pan.

this does happen once in a blue moon. an easy fix is to use the one piece rubber steel shimmed gasket.

some of the aftermarket "cheap" pans do it....
