4" from the bottom portion of the rail should be enough to plant the body. When I built my trans x-member, I started w/a C10 unit I already had & added 2" to the height to match the C30 rail height.

4" should have you planting the pinch w/room to go. I'll have to re-measure mine & see how far the rockers are from the ground just to make sure of my math.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
