1990 ranger 4x4 302 engine placement

[fordboy1990]

I have my motor in but it looks like it is sitting to high on the engin crossmember. Does anybody have a pic of the oil pan to crossmember clearance. Want to make sure I have it right before I build the transmission crossmember.

Mine is as low as it can be and still get the rear drain plug out... which is kinda high.

Other guys have used Fox body mounts, and dual sump pan on a 4x4 and needed to notch the crossmember slightly to get the drain plug out.

I don't have a pic but my stills sits kinda high... I came back and notched the holes for the mounts to slide down further but it only helped a little... I used advanced adapters mounts on my swap and wasnt thrilled with them but hey they work
