Default F-Body Crossmember with Oil Pan access

Does anyone making a streetable/trackable K member that clears the oilpan? The idea is that you would actually be able to drop the oil pan without having to pull the motor up/ drop the k member.

I remember reading a forum post that mentioned it but I can't find it anywhere.

TIA

I have a UMI K-member and recently unbolted the oil pan to get a little clearance to pickup tube for an oil pump install, its tantalizing close, but no cigar. I believe if one were to unbolt the transmission/bellhousing and remove it, you could then get the pan out.

We can do a custom with extra drop if you are concerned about extra clearance, but there is no good way to get it completely out of the way. A removable center tube is not recommended for street use and the other style we build for complete oil an access is for motorplate cars only with manual racks.
