I have a '66 lwb with a '66 327 and a saginaw 4sp. I'm replacing my leaking oil pan gasket with a fel pro one piece thick gasket. I'm running an aftermarket aluminum oil pan. My questions are:

1. Do I need to raise the engine to remove the pan? How can I raise the engine if I don't have a hoist. Where should i place the jack?

2. With the engine still in the truck, what's the best way to install the gasket? Gasket to block or gasket on pan? If it's to the block, how do I keep it there while mounting the pan?

Thanks!
