1968 Falcon
New member
Howdy, I'm going to be replacing the oil pump and pickup tube soon on the 200 in my 1968 Falcon. Will I have to lift the engine or do anything special to remove the oil pan? The car is my DD and I'd rather not unbolt the pan to realize I can't clear it between the crossmember and the pickup screen, and then have to take the extra time to figure out a way to lift the engine up.
Also, is there anything special I should be aware of when replacing the pump and pickup tube? I've never done any work inside of the engine before.
