We have recently made a complete oil pan spacer kit for all 928's.
It includes a lengthened oil sump pickup to match the spacer, and the right studs and starter fasteners.
Even if you do not have a stroker crank - the value of lowering the pan a bit to remove the oil further away from the rotating assembly is very real and well documented. Especially where, on the 928, the clearance from the stock oil pan and the rotating assembly is crazy-close to begin with.
Benefits include: Reduce windage, gain HP, and help your bearings last longer by reducing the amount of entrained air in the oil. Also helps catch cans and crankcase ventilation systems work better (more laps before filling the catch can!)
More information, ordering information, and price are located here:

NOTE: we do not recommend the use of an oil pan spacer with stock hydraulic motor mounts. Switch them out to our solid rubber or solid aluminum mounts when you put this in. Keeps the engine at the right height always, and allows the spacer to do its job.
