Does this look like enough room to replace the oil pan gasket? Looking to replace my oil pan gasket. I have the driver's side header removed, the trans removed, and the driver's side motor mount is out with a piece of wood between the mount and the k member.

What I do is chain the motor to my STB. Then I pull the motor mount pins and unbolt the 6 k-member bolts. That allows the k-member to drop significantly and then removing the oil pan is easy. Don't forget to remove the oil level sensor before you try to drop the pan.

Based on your experience, do you think I need more clearance? It seems like quite a bit of room to drop the pan low enough to clean out the old gasket material and replace it with a 1piece felpro pan gasket.
