Oil Pan Clearance Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**PbFut** · 03-02-2022, 03:05 PM

Is there sufficient room to pull the oil pan on a 72 C20 OEM SBC or does the engine require lifting to provide clearance?
I always get nervous moving large parts for fear it won't drop back into correct position laying on my back pissed off and using language unbecoming.
I searched an hour and did not find a definitive answer. Likely right in front of me, but new here so have some patients please.
Prepping for RMS replacement.
Thanks in advance.
