73 Satellite oil pan gasket

[David Eldridge]

Hey all. Have a 1973 Satellite that I have to do the oil pan gasket on. Wondering if there is enough room to slip the pan out without lifting the engine. Has those bushing style motor mounts and it'll be a pain to have to try and space then engine up. Could do it on the older B body's with a 2x4 block under the mount but not on these.

Welcome aboard from NJ. It might depend on what engine is in your car. I am sure that someone will chime in who has done it. Do you have any pictures to upload for us??

I never did one on my '73 (years ago), but normally I just drop down the center link by loosening it from the idler arm & pitman arm to give me enough room to get the pan off (big block '70)
