    5.0 oil pan removal

    the other problem will be is getting it past the sump, and for that you would have to lift the motor, drop the pan down enough to unbolt either the pump and sump, or just the sump. if it was a 4L it can be done, but being a v8 there isnt enough room. you can pull the rack without lifting the...

    DIY Explorer 302 Headers
