oil pan mod for girdle

I have poly mounts on the car. I was also thinking about getting the oil pan moded to gain a little more clearnce. I dont have the motor back to see how much clearnce there is between the pan and crossmember. If there isnt much clearnce I would like to get it moded.
How much clearnce would be safe?
Just wondering what has to be done the pan?
Where to get it done?
Thanks

My car has stock mounts.

Need to section the front of the pan. A chop saw then have a piece of flat steel tig'd on.

Search is down.. I posted a pix of the pan some time ago..

I paid 100.00 to have it done.

None. The bottom of the pan wasnt touched. Only the front as it slopes down. Actually adding the girdle moves the pan down.
