How does my oil pan clearance look guys? Keep in mind that the car is on jack stands with the suspension unloaded. I spaced the sway bar brackets down about a 1/4 inch and cut away at my k member.

The sway bar rotates towards the pan when vehicle weight is on the grounde. Disconnect the sway bar end links and rotate the sway bar up to make sure you have enough room. That clearance on the k member depends on what engine mounts are in it. Soft stock ones and you might have an issue.

I'll check the swaybar asap, good idea! As far as the mounts go, they're convertible mounts.
 
The convertible mounts drop the engine a little. Might get more clearance with different mounts....or you can make spacers to put between the block and mounts. Looks like you can get by without doing all that though.
