You're gonna have to go in through where the starter is. Its a bitch on the trucks.

l can see that if l go through the starter the bolts will be easier, but l want to test probably 3-5 transmissions a week. again is there an oil pan that will make the job easier? thanks jiohn

Unfortunately no John. You could try getting an F-Body Engine Oil Pan, it will bolt right up. You will need to swap out the pick up tube and windage tray though.
