Im planning on throwing a 327 in the dime but I need to know if theres gonna be any clearance problems with the oil pan.  If there is how is everybody correcting it? are yall sectioning or do they make special oil pans.  I dont even know if it hangs that low but I wanna make sure Ive got my ducks in a row before I start. Any other info on the swap would be great. thanks!

i got the stealth motor mounts from jagsthatrun.com, heddman headers for the s10/v8 swap from summit (well ebay. lol), notched my firewall for distributor and header clearance, and i hope the stock oil pan also works. oh, it's a 355 in my '96 sonoma.
