Thread: '77 460BB oil pan removal

F250 longbed

Is there a cross member under the pan? Does the cross member bolt on or welded? If so you might be able to drop the pan enough to unbolt the oil pickup and slide it out one side. Try going on Ford truck enthusiast web site and post the same question. You'll get a lot of truck help fast there from people who have the same truck as you. Hope this is helpfull!

Unfortunately with a 460 in a Ford pick up, you have to jack the engine off of the motor mounts about 2" as the front sump wont clear the cross member ( I had both a '76 F250 and a '79 F350 with 460s) - and the job isn't all that bad if you have the right tools - a long stroke/arm jack and 2 blocks of wood.

Pulling the engine for that - nahhhh - that is unless you wanted to do more work on it while it's apart. What happened - your pan rust out like my F350? They all will eventually
