Hello, nice work you got there,finally someone is using motor plates it makes mounting the motor so much more easy & you have lots more freedom in fore & aft placement. And now the motor becomes a stressed member to a degree ,it should stiffen up the front end alot.

As for the pan your on the correct path ,I would shorten it ,put wings & trap doors on both sides shorten the pickup if needed, & put a oil cooler to make up for any loss capacity or gain some capacity. Anyhow it looks real good!!!!

Maybe split that .750 your hanging down in half & do a subframe spacer it would be a lil easier than cuting the pan again then you wont hang as much & that (.375) should be doable. It wont change your suspension geometry too too much,& the pan you have now will be safe.
