Some builds have a stock firewall others have a recessed firewall. Thinking about fan clearance, height of engine for oil pan clearance. Trying to figure out if I should put in a recessed firewall too?

Everyone’s build is different. Get your motor/trans/motor mounts/etc and “put” them in your truck and get all your clearances figured out. Personally with all the work your getting into (which is actually fun in the end) a nice new firewall, floor, trans tunnel all makes the job so much nicer.
You are asking all the right questions, planning your build correctly; you are on the right track. But until that motor and trans are mounted, you’re asking questions that only you will be able to truly answer in the end.
