I think as a matter of caution I'm gonna pull the engine & double check the bottom end. I know I could drop the pan in the frame & roll new bearings in. But it's so annoying in a 2wd truck & the flex plate could use to be replaced anyway, the ring gear has more than a few missing teeth.

At least then I know it's right & I really dont want to put my spare 351m in it.

I don't know that the pan can even be dropped in a 2wd frame without lifting the engine, or even if then. Piece of cake in a 4wd.

I've done it exactly once before. But it was a 302 that someone had shoe horned into a 75 f150 & it still sucked. So I'm not sure if that counts.

Yeah. 4x4 is easy.
