Before I run my '60 430 much more I want to drop the oil pan and make sure the screen is clear. I need to do this with the car on the ground and I'm not looking forward to that. I know I need to jack up the engine and put a small block of 2x4 under the mounts and unbolt the pick up tube. Eventually, I will rebuild the engine as she smokes a bit, but I'd like to be able to drive it this year. Does anybody have any tips for doing this job laying on your back?
I had the pan off of my '59 430, but at that time I had access to a lift.
Also, I'm not usually into snake oil treatments for engines, but I've read some good stuff about sea foam. I'm thinking of running the engine with that in the oil for an hour or so before dropping the pan. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks, Vern
