Since I have a high capacity Milodin oil pan on the BBC and it has a wider and deeper front section of pan it came closer to the front crossmember than I liked. It made it so that if I ever had to pull the pan off that I would have to pull the entire engine out! Definitely not something that I wanted to do. So I sectioned a piece out of the crossmember. There was quite a bit of rust in the crossmember. I took 3 inches out of the top of crossmember. Now should have no problem.
