Try a winged pan

Winged pans hold as much oil and have less depth. Cast Aluminum pans such as the one made by Tony Branda work fine for a heavy car like a Mustang, but if they hit anything, they will crack like an eggshell. Aviad makes an aluminum pan that holds 9 quarts, but is very expensive. It was original equipment on the AC Cobra. If you can find a winged steel pan you may have made the best choice for your car. If you do hit something, it will dent and the crack, if any will likely be small and you won't ruin your engine before you discover the leak.
