another motor mount question
 
I bought one of these to install a 302 into my 51 F1

Classic Car and Truck Brake, Steering and Suspension Parts

but I don't like how far the crossmember sits below the oil pan (Fox body Mustang double-hump pan). There is about 5 inches from the bottom of the pan to the top of the crossmember.

I'm afraid that I will run into clearance problems when I lower the front of the truck. I plan on using Classic Haulers reversed-eye main leafs and removing a few leafs, as well as one of Sid's drop axles.

I was wondering if anyone has used these

Street Rod Headquarters: CP-2250 - Ford%20Engine Mounting Kit. Weld-On For 48-52 Ford Trucks, Ford Small Block With Stock Suspension

or something similar....

I do want to avoid the problem of the front axle contacting the oil pan, but that 5 inch gap from the oil pan to the crossmember is WAY too much.
