well, actually, with the side skirts on the fe block plus the length of the oil pump---that area at the front of the engine is pretty well dictated to be require a different approach on the crossmember just as Ford did in 58---------the Windsor package isn't quite as bad altho the rearsumped do have a bulge in the front-------

But I mean don't you find it incredible that some fellows view a pan/crossmember interference as a killer on a project. It's just as simple as welding in a new crossmember that will clear the pan and then torching out the old one and grinding the whole mess down so that it looks pretty. Not a problem.
