1971 318 oil pan gasket... do I need to lift the motor?

[DrewTX]

Sorry if this is an idiot question, but I'm new to mopar and didnt see a thread on this. Can I remove the oil pan from my 1971 Dodge Charger without lifting the motor? I'm X-Chevy and always had to lift the motor to remove the pan...to clear the crank and pickup. Thanks, Drew

I'm fairly sure you have to a little. The front lip won't clear the K frame.

Fixed mine.
