Engine

[Nohair]

Hello everyone- I am going to use the 2.2 Subie w/091 trans and I am planning on using the MSE nose cone&shifter- I am thinking about mounting the engine/trans higher in the chassis(RL racing kit) that mounts it approx.
1 3/4 inchs higher- I think that by doing that I will gain that much more ground clearance for the oil pan and along with the 1 1/2 inchs that I can cut out of the pan should give lots of room-
Has anyone had any experience with mounting the engine/trans higher in the chassis? any idea's will be welcomed!!
thanks for any help that comes my why
