Default Road Race Oil Pan

OK I've given up trying to get my Canton pan to seal to the block and I'm looking for inputs on either a better way to seal the pan or a reccommendation on a good baffled (road race) pan for a Windsor motor that does have an accurate pan rail. The pan rail on the Canton pan does not even come close to fitting the rear main cap in the corner where the main cap and block meet. There is about an 1/8" gap right in the corner with the pan end seal in place. I have tried adding RTV to either side of the end seal before assembling and it works for a while but then will start seeping. Not a big leak but it will leave a drop or two on the garage floor. I like the Canton pan because it has a convenient bung to take the oil temperature sender but I'm ready to toss it in the trash at this point.

So, what to do? Anybody had similar problems? Suggested fixes? Are there different end seals? Maybe I have the wrong end seal. How about a reccomendation for a different pan? Anybody got a pan they want to sell? I want to fix this once and for all before next springtime.
