I would think you could get it all under a 3" cowl, course I don't know what type of upper intake you are running...

The only drop mounts I could find are all solid -- since mine is mostly a street car, I didn't want to go that route. Also, my 7-quart Canton pan will not allow for drop-mounts. Lee is running the same type pan on his 306 and we actually had to place shims under the stock motor mounts to keep the pan off of the steering rack/K-member. On top of that, I have offset rack bushings which may cause me even more clearance issues on the bottom. The bottom line is, my motor is not going to be able to drop any lower.
Another thing to remember is that I have a nitrous plate which adds another 3/4" to the height of an already tall intake.
