As a guide, the 750 race regs state "Ground Clearance: Minimum ground clearance with the driver normally seated is 3" (75mm) excluding exhaust
system and sump. Minimum ground clearance under the sump is 50mm. It is permitted to add shims to or modify the engine mountings in order to comply
with these minimum heights."

I would say about 4-5" chassis to ground for a road car. Your sump should be no lower than 3" really, I've chopped mine (1700 x-flow)to about the
level of the bellhousing and never have any grounding problems.

Do they say to what part of the chassis or running gear those distances should apply?
