What is it about the truck pan that don't fit? Is it just ground Clearence? K member issue? I've got a fox body and trying to do the minimum expense here.

The truck pan hangs down too low, it's the deepest by far and should be avoided in Mustang Swaps if you're going to use the car on the street IMO. Look of an `98-02 Fbody pan, Hummer H3, also known as a "Muscle car pan" or something from the aftermarket.

I modded my 4.6 poly mounts so I wouldn't have to use the UPR adaptor plates between the block and mount which raises the engine slightly. If you're looking for every bit of hood and tunnel clearance it helps.
