Well I had to work some OT today, plus it rained anyways... was this thing canceled again or what??

Wow, that is totally ******* unreal. Almost like this motor wasn't meant to be in this car. Thanks for all the advice, I really thought I was the problem here.

I'm sure someone here has changed an oil pan gasket on a 72 swinger. I took the drag link, starter and transmission dust plate off but the ******* oil pan just doesn't want to come out. At this point in my project I'm ready to sell this thing as-is and buy an Iroc. LOL. :angry5:
