66 Layed out question...

posted on the suspension forum but my get better info here...

I am building a swb 66 that will lay frame...Im getting ready to mock up my motor mounts and had a question about oil pan clearance. Im staying old school and running a built sbc 327 and not going LS...Ive read a bunch about people having oil pan clearance issues with the LS but i dont see much on an old school sbc...my motor mounts will be welded in so i will have some play with height but not much due to hood clearance etc...any opinions on this or real world experience?

The LSx hot rod oil pan will be at same height as the crossmember. Mine is stock truck and dropped 4”, hangs about 1” below crossmember.

I honestly don’t know about SBC tho. Good luck!
