I did have to swap out the engine mounts that came in the kit with Anchor 2283's which raised it about 3/8-7/16 but I have the lower 302/350 frame stands and the mounts that came in the kit were meant for the 327 stands. With the mounts in the kit, I was pretty much sitting on the crossmember with the oil pan.
P.S. Could you write the part of your oil pan instructions in BOLD where it says that some engines need a dip stick plug removed before the new oil pan is installed? You know, so dipsticks like me don't install the whole thing and then notice there is no place to put the dipstick. LOL

As a point of reference, the clearance between the crossmember and the new 302-2 Holley pan is 3/8" exactly with the engine installed on the new Hooker engine brackets and the Anchor 2292 mounts intended to be used with them. That may be helpful in your measurments. I'll pass along a note on the instruction edit recommendation.
