Hello EJ, I am doing the same job on my '30 tomorrow too. I am getting a lot of tips from the people you are talking with. But I came up with this idea. The thread size of the pan bolts is 5/16" So I am going to buy about four pieces of 'all thread' and screw them into the block at different places. They will hang out about 2" each just enough to allow me to put the pan on and then start screwing 4 nut to move the pan upward equally. They will be used as guides as well as moving the pan up towards the block evenly. Do you think this will work? I don't know yet but I think I'll try it. Good Luck with yours.
