Trying to run NO subframe bushings, lowering the engine back down to compensate?

[BritishGreen68]

So here's what im doing lol.. Im trying to get my camaro as low as possible. I removed the subframe bushings and bolted it directly to the body to try and keep the sub from hanging down so far under the car, as well as lower the car a little more. Im running a T56 with sbc, and as we all know the T56 barely fits as it is. So, my plan is to notch the cross-member for the oil pan, and modify the frame/motor mount stands to lower the engine back down to where it normally is in relation to the body, so the tranny will clear the tunnel. Anyone else tried this? Tips tricks comments?? I don't want to cut up my tunnel...!
Issues Im seeing are headers, of which i will just run shorty's, steering column is flaming river so the u joint deal is already taken care of, and clutch linkage is easy.. should I bother doing all this?
