I'm looking at the Unisteer for my 67 C10. I'm swapping in an LS2+4L65E. Unisteer is telling me there are oil pan clearance problems with LS installs. Anyone have any experience with this?

Specifically, Unisteer is saying the hard lines on the rack have a clearance problem with the oil pan. They said JEGs has a steel oil pan, and that using that and raising the motor 1/2" will clear the pan. I just bought a new aluminum pan for the motor, and the pan is supposed to be a structural part of the LS motors, so I'm not really keen on swapping to a sheet metal pan.

I think I spy an LS pan in Rob's install photo.

Just wondering if others here have experience using the Unisteer kit with an LS swap. I'm currently using single piece adapter plates and the stock SBC perches and motor mounts.

Thanks.
