Does anyone out there know if the oil pan for a '71 Ranchero 302 (auto, PS) can be dropped without pulling or raising the engine? How about having to mess with the steering? Thank You George M

No easy way around it. If I remember correctly, the sway bar has to come off & the engine has to be raised. But it will come out without having to pull the engine.

OK, hope it doesn't come to that. Thank You. George M
