How much of a pita to do the job with the lump still in the car, no ramps available? :-k

It’s not much fun, did the Barracuda one in situ and it was a pain and less than successful. Pulled the motor and did it properly, your experience may differ…

I had a nasty feeling that was going to be the answer. :(

the issue is getting the front bit at the corners of the timing case nice the slope of the pan and the K frame conspire against you
if you have mopar bolts with the lead into the thread its easier to get it back on

but getting them all out in the first place was hard work on mine

did an oil pump swap....not doing that again

Thanks Dave

Think I might have to put up other the leaks until the winter and then do it out of the car.
