I still think you are gonna have to unbolt the pan but yes im 2wd. Its not gonna be easy or fun for that matter.

 

Yeah all the guys going from the bottom are 2wd. You will need to unbolt the pump so you can twist it on the crank and pop the tube out. I have found its easier to do it that way and it also allows you to guide the pickup tube in better.

 

Get ready to say a few choice words .

 

LOL thanks for the encouraging words guys

 

just take your pan bolts out and drop on cross member then go in from the front just be very careful with that bolt if you have not replaced your oil pump before make sure that you do or you will kick yourself in the *** later ......... you will be able to get your head in there far enugh to set the pump with a feler gauge to make sure its centered much easyer than droping the pan completely

 

Why would I replace the oil pump? This engine only has about 20K miles on it.

 

Once you unbolt the pump off the block you have to use a feeler gauge to line it up on teh crank right otherwise the clearance between the rotor and housing inside will be off.

 

Grrr.....what is a feeler gauge and where do I get one?

 

its really up to you your gonna be in there and its relativaly cheap plus it may be part of your presure problem im only saying imop you should ive had a couple budies who had presure loss on their f bodys and did all the tear down to replace the oring then half to go back in for the pump

 

Hmmm......I don't see any reason to replace with another stock oil pump.....but.....what would be a good performance replacement?
