    I have seen a lot of posts with questions on removing an oil pan. I will hopefully help quite a few out with an easy remove/replace procedure. My car is the 73 mav with 302, c-4, 3 on the tree.... all i do is Disconnect the negative battery cable (IMPORTANT).....remove the crossmember(easy) remove the starter(easy), then remove the 20 bolts and :dancing:

    Didn't you have to unbolt the idler arm and drop the drag link? I did.

    This is the whole reason I haven't changed oil pans and I'm leaking oil from the front of the engine where the pan meets the timing cover.
