i put a 5.0 in mine had to get my oil pan cut down 3/4in for clearance now i have enough clearance also the guy that cut my oil pan down cut and re welded it to match the oil pan
Im also body dropped 4in and i am runnin a stock hood and mine does not stick out of the hood but i lowered the motor mounts and also made my own mounts
im bodydropped 4.5 inches as well and im just running a summit mustang 5.0 pan, but ill probably be no help because my engine is sticking out of my hood.
