Murphy's Law 69 Dart

Howdy folks,

HELP!!!

My question is; I'm fitting a 528 Indy Maxx motor in a 69 Dart with a 8 qt race pan with big crank, windage tray, external oil pump, ect., ect. which causes the problem of the pan hanging well below the steering linkage on the Dart.

I can't notch the pan and don't won't to lift the motor mounts through the roof. So something has to give with the steering linkage. has anyone had to deal with this before and how did you solve this problem?

Thank you in advance for any help!
