Robert,
Just to make sure we notched both front corners of the oil pan to clear the headers. Basically we cut each corner top to bottom and then welded a plate into the corner to cover up the missing piece. We've run and heated up the motor to normal op temps and rev'd the piss out of it and no leaks. My fabricator buddy, Rick, is a super good welder so I had the utmost confidence cutting a new oil pan and fixing the clearance problem. While I was there yesterday he showed me a titanium suspension assembly he built which he's selling to the BMW M3 and other hi perf model owners since their rear suspensions are apparently easy to break with hard launches; as you probably know, titanium is tricky to weld and requires cover gas etc. but his bars are very solid.

Here's the only pic I have of the front corners cut and clearing the headers:
