How can I get my LS lower in the frame???

The setup..

1) CPP sheetmetal mounts
2) CPP slider mounts (the small ones)
3) factory K frame
4) CTSV oil pan.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this. I moved the CPP sheet metal mounts back to the second/third holes. Front hole on drivers side has the NLE steering rod coming through.

The truck pan hung below the stock K-frame 2-3". The CTSV pan gave me plenty of ground clearance but I've got at least 1.5" clearance between the front half of the pan and the top of the K frame.

The Headman TriY headers clear just fine with this set-up, but it looks like a K frame mount would be the ONLY style of mount that would still allow clearance for the headers if the motor was dropped down 1-2".

Thoughts??
