Your engine/box combo is correct.
Shortening the sump is fairly easy, but not worth going any lower than the bottom of the bellhousing. Will also need to shorten the pick up pipe to
suit

Cheers i need to lower engine by 1.5 inches so body work will fit back on and that looks like my sump and bell housing will be very low to the ground

I ran about 3" to the sump and 4.5" to the chassis rails when my pinto was in the car.
