Re: 69 Nova Oil Pan Replacement
You will have to lift the engine about 3", in order that the oil pan will clear both the crossmember and the crank throws. Depending upon clearance issues, you may or may not have to loosen the trans mount bolts. You will have to remove the through bolts on the engine mounts.
You can carefully lift the engine using a floor jack (as long as you have a block of wood between the pan and the jack), then put a couple of pieces of 4x4 between the lower and upper engine mounts to suspend the engine 3" off the crossmember. Watch for any distortion of the oil pan while doing this - if you see any, STOP! You can easily break the oil pump pickup screen loose, so excersize care.
