When I looked everything over before disassembly the center link was already pretty close to the oil pan, well within the 1.5" that I sectioned mine. I'm not sure how guys are avoiding this clash when raising their steering with their sectioned crossmembers. Maybe they are moving the motor back?
I wish I measured the clearance with the SBC before too. Maybe if someone has this stock measurement they could report?

I think the only option would be to use motor mount shims to go up or move it back like you said! What a cool build you've got going!
