Hey guys i was trying to do a sr20 swap into my 93 4x4 but the oil pan sits on the steering rack, just curious if anyone has ran into this and what they did (low profile oil pan?) any help would be appreciated cause at this point i put it up for sale cause i dont have a whole lot more money to dump into the project. thanks!

Does it barly touch or is it completely keeping the engine from going in?

Bummer. I was going to say that put some washers under the motor mount to give it a little lift but I dont think thats going to give you the clearance you need.

ya i was thinking of that, but it bolts right up to the factory mounts so if i lifted them im not sure it would line up correctly.
