LS65Speed Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Anyone here changed an oil pan without removing the engine. I am wondering what guys who have accomplished this task would have to say. Stock exhaust, no headers to contend with. The car does have a Richmond 5 speed which is kinda close to the floor making jacking the engine up very far a potential issue. It also has factory A/C so the evaporator core and the passengers side head might get friendly if I have to raise the engine too far. I would appreciate any experience you guys might have (good experience or bad experience) when trying this with the engine in the car.

Grant MacPherson Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Just did my 70, 454 stock exhaust turbo 400. removed fan, distributor cap. removed motor mount bolts and jacked it up. No problem removing the pan and went with the 1 piece gasket. Your trans may cause a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS65Speed Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 I can lower the trans...the way I built / modified the crossmember when the 5 Speed went in lowering the trans is a snap. How far did ya have to jack the motor up? Any issues with rotating the front counterweight ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
