LSG 15 Report post Posted June 29, 2009 Guys, need some memory help here. If I remove the crossmember that ties the bottom of the towers together, can I remove my oil pan and replace the pump on my 302 ? Car is a 69 FB, 302 auto. I seem to remember having done this to a 351C in a '70, but that was like, 30 yrs ago......and memory gets fuzzy. Pump & pan replacement with the engine in the car is possible, isn't it ?

69again 10 Report post Posted June 29, 2009 I just put a new oil pan gasket on last weekend. Yes, Just remove the cross member. Becareful when aligning the hex shaft that comes from the distributor. My oil pan gasket had 4 alignment pins, which came in handy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
