You can either cut and re-weld the mounts, or buy a set of bolt-on mounts to drop it. Are you Zing the frame? If so you may not need to section the oilpan.. I guess you'd know after Zing it AND dropping the engine however much needed to clear the hood.

Here are some pics of these new bolt in mounts Seth from Twisted Minis fabbed up, they are available through him or me.

Let us know if you need some.. keep us updated on the whole process.

I'm with Ricky on Seths mounts, they look killer...

If your motor is out of the truck you can lower the mounts on the frame in about half hour. I cut mine off the frame and lowered them 3/4 of an inch. I also took about a 1/4 inch off the bottom of my oil pan because it was almost on the ground.

Thanks Ricky, and Billy. Lol.

Like TIm said, if the motor is out it would be quick and easy to do it that way. But if your motor is still in the truck, you can use my mounts to drop it in about 20 minutes.

And here is a picture of my pan I sectioned.I sectioned it 1".
