I think the issue is that by raising the engine 2 inches to solve clearance issues with the oil pan, you are creating more clearance issues with the trans tunnel, changing the cars center of gravity, as well as other problems regarding driveshaft angle and etc etc.

The main point that i've gathered is that modifying the oil pan would not only be a more cost effective strategy for clearance issues, but would also require much less time and work to execute.

Thats just what I gathered. I could be wrong, but it makes a lot of sense. If there was another reason to raise the engine 2 inches, other than for clearance issues, then perhaps it is a viable option, but from the way it sounds right now, it just seems like they are creating a lot of extra work for themselves, and complicating the install more than it needs to be.
