i'm to rocker and so is Gfreezo on here. and once my new frame is done my motor will be under my hood. not sure about the trans though hoping for it to be under the floor. didn't cut it the first time and cleared.

The front wheel is like off the ground for the most part. That is some sick camber.

i am body dropped with no Z and lay flat rocker all the way around. i reworked the front crossmember and the rack and pinion and it lays flat with the stock hood and no hump in it. its hard to tell from the pic but it lays hard.

tacodragnazz, without z-ing the frame you didn't have to lower the motor. also with the modified x-member how much did you raise it and was the oil pan an issue. looks sick by the way.

i did a 3 and a quarter traditional body drop. i didnt have to lower the motor i just notched out some of the webing under the hood and had to section a quarter inch out of the power sterring reservoir for hood clearance. raise the clutch master cylinder and as for the cross member i cut the bottom off of it were it is welded together and sunk the botttom that i cut off up inside of the crossmember until the truck layed out flat and then welded it back up. the oil pan is barely off of the ground and the rack and pinion you wil have to grind on the bolt heads and the mounts to get it to lay out but it is very minor grinding. hope this helps you.
