Can anyone tell me what mounting position you're using for the engine stands? With my CPP tubular stands in the V8 (front two holes on the top frame rails) position the F-body pan is hitting the crossmember before the mounts are sitting on the stands. I can move the stands back to the L6 position but I'll have to drill two holes in the crossmember for the bottom stud on the stands. Before I drill those holes, I'd really like to make sure I'm not missing something important, particularly with regard to firewall clearance by moving the engine back. Pics are below.
