This means the use of 3/8" thick adapter plates as was typically used in many LS swaps is going to position the crankshaft height of an LT engine higher in the chassis than would be the case with an LS engine. This is one of the reasons I divorce myself from the stock engine brackets entirely, so as to have more freedom to position the engine height exactly where I want it.

I was mimicking the aftermarket adapter plates or so i was trying.. was hoping for the best
No biggie, any dimensions available on the pan? Or eta on availability. Gonna look online at the holley pan to see if they are similar in thickness, viewed from the side.
