Mitsubishi sold a RWD oil pan. It came on all the trucks. Its still a front sump setup though, just flat on the bottom. More like a Starion oil pan in design than the DSM one which needs to have an exhaust run under it.
Perhaps you meant a rear SUMP oil pan. In that case, talk to Mr. Bill Hincher!
Bill, while you're thinking about rear sump oil pans, think about how we might one day go with a dry sump setup... and maybe a smaller ring gear (with a www.10000rpm.com twin plate clutch and severely modified bellhousing. All for maximum lowness!
I was thinking that a good way to turn the dry sump pump would be via the timing belt using the longer 4D63 diesel timing belt. Who knows. Maybe you can think of something better. I've seen dry sumps on 4G63's before.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
