Default LS7 Oil Reservoir

Looking for an opinion regarding the depth of the oil reservoir for my LS7 in a a 69 Camaro. Have a Peterson tank 19 1/2" tall x 6". Installing in front of right inner fender. Note in photos, it sits about 2 1/2" below the subframe. It looks like it sits too low. Probably won't see it with the chin spoiler on, but don't know if it's too exposed. On the top side, the cap is only 1/2" from the bottom edge of the fender. Don't know if I want to change tanks to one that would be about 3" shorter as I would loose some capacity. Especially now that GM has increased the capacity on these another 1/2 gallon.

The way I see it is I could get a shorter tank, and add an oil cooler that would hold the amount lost, or just let it "hang out" as is. Maybe the people that have done this swap could chime in as to how low yours is?

Thanks!
Bill
