How Much Engine Clearence Is There?

[240z71]

Hey Guys

 

Ive tried searching everywhere but to my suprise no luck. As my Z is in pieces. Im wondering if someone who has a standard crossmember and engine mount setup can tell me how much clearence there is if i wanted to lower the engine in my car until it starts hitting? and what it hits on first?

 

Even better if someone on here has lowered the L series in there Z could tell me the parts needed for clearence? Different sump? Ill be making "world cup crossmember" style mounts but as i want to compete in Targa events im not allowed to modify the crossmember only the mounts themselves. Anyway any help on this topic is apreciated

 

Thanks Matt
