oil pan

Does anyone know if you can remove the oil pan on a small block with it still in the truck?
Trying not to pull the motor just to put a new oil pan on.
I have a 70 c10 2wd.

Re: oil pan

You may need to lift the engine/tranny up with a cherry picker in order for the pan to slide out.

Re: oil pan

Disconnect the motor mounts, jack the engine up so you can get a piece of 2x4 in the space between the engine and frame mount.

If you jack against the oil pan, use a piece of wood to spread the load so you don't bend the pan.

Re: oil pan

Thanks for the answers, at least I can have a ideal of what to expect when I start to change the oil pan and gasket. Thanks

Re: oil pan

When you jack up the motor watch for any other things that can get stretched like the rad hoses or power steering hoses or rad shroud. I unbolted my rad when I did mine and let it slide up and loosened my PS pump so the hoses could move further.

Re: oil pan

Also check the distributor especially if it's an HEI and very close to the firewall. I had to remove mine. If you have a shroud make sure the fan will clear it. Don't forget the fuel pump hose and the exhaust pipe.

Basically just use caution and make sure everything clears.
