My 1967 Cuda Restoration
My oil pan sticks over the k-member and is a rear sump pan looks just like yours in your picture. The oil pan gasket was leaking bad and I needed to change it back in February. I had to drop the steering cross link in order to remove the oil pan,and jack the car up in the front a reasonable amount but that was all it was to remove the pan. Is there something else that I'm missing that he is talking about? It wasn't the simplest job removing it but I got it done. Matter of fact looks like you have plenty of room between the front of the oil pan and the k-member opposed to mine.
Tony Fields saidHad a guy over an hour ago looking at the progress on the 'Cuda. He's and old
Mopar guy that just built a 1965 Coronet 2dr hardtop 440 drag car. He looked
at the front of my engine and asked me how I was going to get the oil pan
off in the future if I needed to. I said....hadn't thought about it.
as you can see the pan hangs over the K-member. He suggested I pull
the K-member, take it to the local welding shop and have it cut out
and boxed in. After looking at it....made sense to me.
Anybody run into this problem before?
