you need to section the oilpan and take out about 1/2 to 3/4 inch and replate the bottom. best to get an oilpan kit from speedway and fab the bottom to clear everything. then make the crossmember with 1/2 or 3/8 inch plate and have a small turn up on the front and back so it doesnt catch anything on the street.
we fab anything with common sense applied to every job.
I sectioned the oilpan on ,y V-8 motor in my Mazda 3/4" and raised the pickup tube. works great and used 3/16 plate as the bottom of the pan just in case it hit something.
