'68 Dart w/'66 225, oil pan/center link clearance

In my '68 Dart I recently installed a good running '66 225/904 that came out of a '66 Valiant. My Dart is an original 225 car. The center link is only about 1/8" from the oil pan directly in line with the oil drain plug.

Does anybody know if an A-body V8 center link would add some clearance? I wouldn't mind hammering on the pan a bit, but I'm evaluating my options at this point. I don't want to pull the engine or the pan if I don't have to.
Thanks!
