351 modified oil pan removal?
I have a 73 ford f100 with a 77 351 modified engine, I unbolted my oil pan and wish to know if there's a safe way to get it out without removing the engine. It's laying right on my cross member, and I really don't want to take out the engine. I heard jacking it up after taking off the mounts is a way but not sure how safe for it is for the truck. Please send help or a how to do it yourself video lol thank you…
If it is stuck, the only way I could think of is to unbolt the motor mounts and jack the motor a couple of inches. It is probably very simple. There are two nuts or two bolts, one on each side of the engine. Loosen and remove them; then jack the motor. When putting the oil pan back on, do not over-tighten the bolts. If you do, then you bend the rim of the oil pan and it leaks. If you tighten too much, the metal bends down into the gasket. So just tighten only a little bit. It's the right way to go, but sometimes the bolts can get a little loose over time and start leaks. You just have to check them every year or so and tighten them every so often.
- What car is cheap and can be modified to be really fast in speed and acceleration? I have a Ford Taurus and I feel like as if it lacks speed and acceleration. Also which modifications can increase the speed of the car and acceleration of it without removing any weight?
- Does the oil pan have to be removed to change the rear main seal on a ford 3.0L V6 in a 2000 ford ranger? I have the engine removed from the truck and was swaping in a salvaged engine that all checks out good except for a slight leaking rear main seal. So, after inspecting the rear main seal, it appears as though a could just slide it out and a new one in. Does the oil pan need to be removed? Or can I just carefully remove the old seal and clean the surfaces good and install a new one?

- Where can I buy Modified Mustangs and Fords Magazine? I'm trying to put together a deployment box for my boyfriend and he loves Shelby's and Mustangs but I can't find that particular magazine anywhere. Where can I find one to buy him? I saw them once at my local Fry's but they are in between magazine suppliers and don't have any as of now.
