Oil pan replacement
Very soon, I am going to be replacing the oil pan on my '80. I ave a 4.9 and I think I remember hearing something about having to lift the engine slightly to clear the crossmember. Is this true?

Remove the two engine mount nut on both sides and raise the engine by the harmonic balancer. Put block of woods on the space created on the engine mount and engine as the engine is raised up to prevent engine dropping too hard in case it slips.
Some folks said to remove the transmission mount to get more clearance.
