Just a thought here fellas..... If a person used a `40- `41 front crossmember from a pick up truck you will clear the small block Ford oil pump. It is quite a bit deeper than the passenger car version. A "flatter" front spring arch is all that's needed to get the ride height back to normal. I think I have an extra one I could part with if someone were interested.
