Hey guys, I'm putting a 2002 6.0L ls engine into my 1987 Chevrolet V20 Pickup truck.

Had some questions about some fitment issues i'm having. The 6.0L is bolted up to my rebuilt TH400. I ordered the 4x4 Dirty Dingo LS engine swap mounting brackets to be used with the stock Clamshell engine mounts.

I do believe I need to notch out a little spot on my front crossmember in order to give some clearance for the oil pan to sit.

But what I'm more confused about it, is how the Dirty Dingo brackets are sitting on the pads the clamshell mounts bolt to on the frame.

I'll try and see if I can get some pictures to load up on here to help show what I'm trying to explain, and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!
