Heard something different on TV!!!

[juveteach]

Hello All,

I was watching the TV show called Muscle Car on Spike this past weekend. The host is doing a carb'd LS engine swap in a 70-72 nova.. He had some S&P engine plates and was talking about the oil pan clearance issue and what options you had to correct it. He then said something I have never heard before. He said that he was going to raise the engine up about two inches to clear the steering rods, and he wouldn't have to cut the pan and all would fit and work fine....
My question is this possible on a first gen camaro? Has anyone tried it or heard about it? I am doing a swap and would like to keep stock steering if possible, but was looking for a cost/budget way to avoid the oil pan and new pick up route. Thanks for reading, chime in if you like.

Thanks.
