Engine Height

Pan is right around 7". Talked to a reputable motor guy, the guy that is actually now taking care of my rebuilds and he said most all the pans he uses are around 7".

7" is a really deep dry sump pan. That's more of a wet sump depth. Most dry sump pans are 4.5 to 5.5" deep. Does your engine guy do a lot of dry sump engines?

That's your problem, I agree with 14. As I said before I have a 9 quart WET pan that is not as deep as your DRY pan. The Moroso link is a good bet and it comes with several options for most all blocks and pump set ups. Lose your pan for a 5.5" pan, gain 1.5" of clearance, move engine up 1", your total clearance has to be between 6.5" and 7" and you should be good to go.

Found a shallow pan from a fellow racer in the area and changed pans. Raised the midplate an inch and shimmed the front mounts up to keep my angle correct for driveshaft. I think we got it. Are we missing anything else?

I would say go drive the wheels off it!
