V8 in slant 6 k member. What am I doing wrong

The stock oilpan should be just high enough to not rattle on the K, and be a super PITA to remove "in frame". For TTI installation, the lower the better. On mine I think I could just get my thumbs between the corners of the oilpan and the K. I had to shim one side a lil to level the carb from side to side; I forget which side, lol. I'll guess it was the driver's side.
The measurements weren't taking "yours" into consideration, they are factory measurements. Not everything revolves around your precious 367. If you ever had it.
