I have a leaking oil pan on a 71 Charger. Do I have to pull the 440 out to change the pan? Thanks for your help!
 
No. Probably just the center link has to be moved out of the way. I have a gen 2 charger, '70, and '71 is probably the same.
 
As long as the exhaust is clear, drop the center link. You may need to remove the trans dust cover, and raise the engine to gain clearance . Not a bad job just don’t over tighten the bolts on the pan when going back together! Make sure you put oil back in after and before starting... I’ve seen a guy do it as he got side tracked.
