I cut 1 3/4" off a spare oil pan and I have approx. 5" of ground clearance. Still looks liike I will have to be very carefull. How much clearance does everyone else have? That 5" is based in a 74 Ghia, 2.2L and lowered 1 spline in the rear.

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

I'd put a bit of 5mm ally plate across the bottom of the motor. it can sit up hard against the bottom of the sump. that way, if you do scrape it on something, the ally will be sacrificial. 😉

how are you mounting the engine? the engine mount could be made to come down slightly lower then the sump as protection.
