Oil pan removal question Guys, with a tubular k-member and a non-stock trans (T400 not bolted into the oil pan), can you remove the stock oil pan and pickup w/o jacking the motor? Looks close up front.
I'm thinking of swapping oil pans over to a Moroso or Stef's deep pan with a trapdoor, but I'm just seeing if I can do it w/o getting my engine hoist out and also having to pull the balancer and front cover. If I do, I do, but...
Thanks for the assistance. BTW, I did a search on "dropping oil pan" and "oil pan removal" and nothing much came up. Take care. Dave

We changed our oil pan on a lift and lowering down the tubular k-member.
By the way, do you know the part number to the Moroso or Stef's deep pan with a trapdoor. We may need to go to one of these pan's(see sig)!

On the Stef's, you just call them and tell them what you want. Since you are running a tubular k-member, they can and recommend adding the sump deeper up to the point it would be up against the k-member. Their's and the Moroso (PN 21150 with special pickup and screen) are meant more for Super Stock with a modified stock k-member. They are nice, but don't have as deep of center section nor do they have kickouts that you could run if you wanted.
Either way, good luck. Take care. Dave
