I don't know how cheap you've found yours for, but when I got mine they were $40 a pop

well how much longer did you keep moving after the drop in pressure/loud bang? probably after the initial kerplosion the crank went all 'fuck yo couch' real quick & hard on the other bearings. just a guess though.
also, how do you have your exhaust routed? might wanna make a custom drivers' side header. when i was looking into doing a 302 240sx i found out those have to use a front sump too. difference being is that it's not ridiculously hard to send the exhaust the right way. in any case, there's a "pro" drifter that has this setup and he sells kits. the pan is apparently 7qts and it works just fine for him. no mention of other oiling mods
but shit, the kickouts aren't that wide, maybe you can still wrap the exhaust around that way.
one thing i did remember when i had a subscription to SBFbuilding.com was that you wanna make sure the oil pump pickup only has about .5" of clearance between the bottom of the pan. woody specifically mentioned this as being super important, yet overlooked, as if it's more than .5" you can have issues of sucking up air

Doesn't happen, the buying or the crushing. I'll show up, take my laps, and go race. I can't go long enough on fuel for it to matter anyway. If you can't run a minimum 2 hrs 30 mins on fuel, you're not in contention to win. I may even print my actual receipt from fordstrokers to show them :) I'm well beyond the giving a fuck about the budget stage at this point.
