Can anyone tell me the height of the frame rail to the ground at the front crossmember ? Engine is out of the car so I can’t exactly get a good measurement at ride height.

Back to this thing trying to figure out long tube headers. 3rd set might would’ve been close enough to modify except I think they screwed them up slightly, lol.
I can confirm flowtech 12157FLT long tube headers will not fit, even on the passenger side where there is ample room. They hit the motor mount and steering rack fitting. Still open for suggestions
Planning to tackle the exhaust next. Anyone have any advice on long tube headers that clear the steering, and actually fit the channels underneath the floor pan?
Here’s the 4” aluminum driveshaft mocked up. It’s very tight but fits. Nothing touches, but will need more clearance around the center bearing carrier mount.
Quick update. Finally getting somewhat sorted on an aluminum 1 piece driveshaft for my ls engine/6l90 swap. Found a dorman replacement for a Silverado the correct length, just waiting on a conversion u joint. Not sure if I will have to cut the center bearing support for this 4” diameter...
Trimming pan for steering rack. Ordered a Holley 302-1 to test fit as well. Does anyone know what fittings are in the rack? It would help if a tighter radius fitting (90) could be installed in place of the bent tubing. I’ll get a photo of the fitting later and post.
More pics. Got a crossmember to mock up oil pan and see if even possible to fit using a rear sump pan. Obviously not enough room for the steering rack with a truck pan, but gonna trim it a bit. Crossmember does clear at roughly same crank centerline. I hope to lower the engine about 1-1/4”...
