Is it possible to change a 454 pan gasket in a 74 3/4 without pulling engine? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone try doing a pan gasket on a 74! To me it looks like it might just be doable, not sure if the pan will clear the crank and cross member????

FYI, I can't get the search function to work at all! It kicks out the word "pan" when looking for pan gasket!

406 I think you can...may have to pull the bolts out of the mounts & jack it up a lil...if you do that dont forget to pull the dizzy so you dont cram it into the firewall
