So I finally get everything button up'd with the 347 install, take my car for its maiden voyage on Sunday and after a couple of mins driving everytime I come to a stop the car shakes and rattles. We check and find that the front of the oil pan on the passenger side is hitting the K-member. I have a 7 qt pan on and energy suspension motor mounts. When the motor was in my buddy's notch he had no problems with clearance. I know longer have a cherry picker to raise the motor. So I am thinking my only option is to try and notch the K-member. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
