    or, you could dent the pan, if it would be simple.

    I'd be a little leery grinding on the K member, since it
    carries some heavy loads, but I've never done it.
    Metal can crack with the right load and starting point/flaw.
    Just something to consider.
    In testing the strength of metals, they put a notch in it,
    then apply the force.

    So, the pan has clearance around the whole k member, headers, etc. how much do I need for the k member 1/4" or 1/2"? How about the headers?

    That's what I did  when I used the Milodon BB road race pan

    Mine hit on the brackets for the motor mounts. Didn't take much to clear it?
