5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
For changing the oil pan, pulling the motor out or using a lift to hold the motor and just drop the k-member and not have to tinkle with the tranny ect.
I lifted the motor a few inches and unbolted the tranny from its cross member. This required very little disassembly but still took a while to wrestle the pan out.
k-member doesn't have to come out. hoist the motor up 3 or 4 inches, unbolt the pan, then unbolt the pickup from the oil pump. while doing this dont forget that the pickup has a hanger bolt on the #3 maincap.
