Chris and I used a spacer.. sealed the joint interface with silicone. Worked ok.. we had oil picking up and getting pumped (this was 13B 2nd gen)..

Eyeballing what you have, I see no reason a fabbed spacer should be a problem.

by building a 1/2" spacer to match the thickness of the engine mount plate, is there any reason I can't use this oil pickup?  it is plastic, but has a nice internal screen and the tip rests on the oil pan bottom (or very close to it, judging from an eyeballed guess).  my 20B had steel parts, my only prior experience.    kevin
