I know a lot of guys have had to do this before and I'm hoping for some further tips and instructions on what to do. 96 f150 302 4x4, oil pan. I know I have to get the motor up off the mounts, and loosen the intake manifold as not to crack it. Is there anything else that needs to be or should be disconnected? And how far up do i need to go to clear the cross member? I can get a hoist to use and many extra hands to help. I need to replace the pan and gasket and might as well do the mounts at the same time.
