Does anyone make a dropped center link for an E Body to give more oil pan clearance?

How much do you need? You can adjust the motor a little higher by loosening the motor mount, jacking the motor slightly and re-tightening before you release the jack. Adjust both sides to your liking. I just did it after a header install only left 1/4" clearance on the passenger between header and the side if the engine bay. I put it to little more than 1/2"

I have the engine up as high as it can go, and I'm lucky if I have a 1/4" between the link and pan. I'm sure this is gonna cause problems with other stuff, like the fan and shroud.

As long as it doesn't hit, I wouldn't worry about it. Up until this header install I'd say I had about 1/4" between my pan and centerlink. It never hit, even when the suspension was going through it's travel, so I never gave it another thought.
