Can you replace the oil pan gasket with the motor still in the car? I have my trans out and my oil pan has been leeking bad so I figured this would be the best time to replace it if it can be done.

i hook the engine to the engine hoist. unbolt the motor mounts, unbolt the steering linkage, and unbolt the k-member and dropped it down couple inches to reach the oil pan bolts. the engine was still in the car but unbolted to the k-member.

Ya I was afraid that it was going to be something like that I was looking and it didn't look like there was any way to do it without "pulling" the motor so to speak.

actually not that bad as everyone makes it out. I did mine a couple pf month ago (first time on a ls1). about 6 hours of actual work over a 2 day period.

It really does make one wonder... for the most part, GM has always made things "relatively" doable for the home mechanic... then you get to the F-bodies and it's a ******* nightmare.
