A friend of mine is doing a ground up on a '67 Chevelle SS w/325 hp/396 and an M20. He can't seem to find a stock BB oil pan of any configuration to have enough clearance over the crossmember. Any opinions? He just got the frame back from straightening. It had apparently "slumped" up front and they had to push up on the crossmember and pull the frame horns out a bit, about an inch and a half total. Before,this he was having clearance problems with headers, now he's having crossmember issues. Is it likely that they went up too much with the crossmember, or is there a specific pan for the '67 chevelle. One part #'s book I have shows GM # 14091408 for '67. Anyone been in this situation before?

A 1967 Chevelle 396 would use the same 4 quart pan as a Camaro or Nova. If you have the 5 quart Corvette, Passenger, Truck pan it will not fit.
Another possibility is incorrect motor mounts. The wider '69-style interlock mount will fit loosely on the '67 frame brackets but are thinner than the correct mount causing the engine to be positioned too low in the chassis. The correct mount is a very tight fit on the frame bracket.
