Chevelle Steering Linkgage hits oil pan

[chris ok]

Problem I found w my 1970 Chevelle was the oil pan laying in the front tip of cross member and lightly on center link. The inner tie rods also hit.
I’m not sure if you have these issues or if this is a class car or a street/strip car.
The energy suspensions come w a plate like their transmission mounts. So it effectively raises it an 1/8” approximately.
Hopefully you get your dads car right.
