Yeah, I know. Pull the distributer to allow tilting of the engine to keep pressure off the center link that goes through the pan. Pull the headers before removing the pittman arm and tie rod ends. Of course, this is after removing the front wheels. Then, everything is done on the back, including recentering the 340/360 oil pan spacer. Plus, the pan is so big, there isn't much room between it and the trans. I'll pull the motor next time, all that is left is the converter bolts. Doing it on the engine stand is a H E L L of alot better deal. Like I said, GOOD LUCK
