Jack'r up.........is the only way I know how. Been there with a 302 before. It can be done. Loosen mount stud, jack motor and place 2x4 under mount to support motor, and remove jack to make room to work again.
So far not had to touch any of my FE's while IN truck.

When I took the pan off of my 70 302 I jacked it up and put short pieces of 2x4 under the mounts. It's tight but the pan will come out.

Another option would be to bump the engine around to tdc remove the sparkplug look and see if the piston is up then turn the engine forwards enough to lower the piston about two inches then insert some clean rope put as much in the hole as you can then turn the crank till the piston compacts the the rope this is going to keep the engine from turning this is not the best way to do it yes it could damage the insert bend the rod but it's going to be a lot SAFER than the pry bar / starter method this is a old motorcycle trick good luck.I went back to delete this tread but don't know how I did not notice there were two pages when I posted I see you got the bolt out.
