The engine is sitting seems to me to sit at higher angle.... 1/4 inch clearance under oil pan....Do i have to put in a different pan? motor mounts?

More concerned about the angle

You can raise the angle a little by using the upper holes on the Trans Cross Member.

When I dropped a 396 in my '62, I just used the same 283 Engine Frame Mounts.

Somewhat of an angle is normal.

I did have to change the Oil Pan as the one that came with the engine would not clear.

This is particularly an issue if you are running a 2 piece drive shaft with the steady rest bearing. That bearing doesn't deal well with loading and can be tricky to get set right. If it isn't set right the bearing will wear out in a very short amount of time and your teeth will hurt.
