I've had to remove/replace several pans on SBC's in these pickups and have never had to jack the engine. Always just pulled the converter inspection pan, and oil pan bolts and down it comes. Once in a while, it took some manuvering to get the pan away from the oil pickup, but they always came down. Anybody know if the procedure is the same with the big block? I've worked on tons of SBC's in these trucks, but my '76 is the first BB that I've worked on in a pickup chassis.
