Changing oil pan
Is it possible to change a big block oil pan with the engine in place?
Thanks,
Rex

2, and remove the oil filter, clutch dust cover BEFORE you try to lower it.

I just did this on my 65 small block, I know you were asking about a BB but I thought I would pass this along. I un-bolted the idler arm from the frame and that allowed the tie rods etc to drop down with plenty of room for the oil pan to drop down.
