Adding the plates by themselves might of given enough room for the oil pan clearance.

Nice mod non the less.

In the beginning we didn't know what would fix it, he was going to bend a new cross member, untill Jon came up with the flange idea...
My understanding from Kert was that certain oilpans will clear the crossmember, mine was about 1/2" short of lining up the motor mount bolts. Kert felt with the thickness of the flanges(total between 2 is a 1/2" per side) bolt on motor mount is a 9/16", so half of that is like 4.5/16". I needed a half a hole, to get it to line up. That whole paragraph probably doesn't make much sense, but I can still add a spacer between the flanges if I need more space
I'll find out tomorrow, and will be better able to answer your question
