When I fitted the crossflow, I mounted the chassis on 1" RHS, and rested the sump on the ground. Gives me around 3 inches ground clearance.
The Pinto is a little taller, so I'd chop the sump by 1" and do the above.

General opinion is that you should aim for 4" clearance, to avoid clouting speed bumps...

If you are going to cut your sump later, set the bottom of the gearbox bellhousing 1" below the chassis (match the sump to this later). With a
book chassis, this puts the top of the block almost exactly level with the top of the top rails.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
