Front mount bracket isd in the way, this has to be unbolted from the block to clear, pain in the ass, the bolts on the rear are hard to access. Leaks huh, just like mine. I stopped a lot of the leaks by reoving the pan bolts and sealing the thead with rtv, must be clean to work though. I can rock the engine forward and use a 2x4 to block the motor to the firewall from the top l/s of the engine.
