It looks to me that the engines that hang low in those pictures were set
lower to keep them below the factory engine lid. Marco's personal van
has a 8-10 inch raised deck in the back of his van, so my guess is he
mated it higher (or stock location) for more clearance. He says on the
spec page that there is 8.5" of ground clearance and the oil pan is
protected by a 1/4" thick plate; 8.5" is better than most cars, and some
trucks. 

Now, how much for one of these conversions??? When will people learn to
advertise with average prices at least?
