You can change the gasket in the car but it is hard to get all the old gasket off the motor to ensure a good seal. I have seen friends jack the motor up a little bit to get more clearance on the issue. As for swapping motors. It is pretty simple since you are taking out and putting in the same motor. If you are going to rebuild the motor, be sure to get a haynes or chilton book to get all the correct torque readings and patterns.

i did my pan gasket w. the motor in the car, it was a bitch... have to lift the motor for sure...

swaping one motor for another is easy

rebuilding it is not

HEY, DID ANY OF YOU GUYS HAVE A 7 QT. OIL PAN? MY GASKET IS LEAKING A BIT AND I'M GETTIN TIRED OF PUTTING A QT. OF $8 ROYAL PURPLE ABOUT EVERY MONTH. I WAS QUOTED $400 FROM A MUSTANG SHOP, SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO DROP THE STEARING AND K-MEMBER. I GOT UNDER IT AND AND IT DIDN'T LOOK QUITE THAT TIGHT TO HAVE TO DO ALL THAT. NOT SURE OF BRAND BUT LOKKING AT MAGAZINES, I THINK IT IS A MOROSO OIL PAN.

you wont beable to get all the crud and old gasket off the pan with the motor still in the car. the gasket itself (putting it on, is the easy part, cleaning the sucker is not. get a felpro rubber (blue silicon) gasket, they are the best, cork however. steer clear of

pull the motor(less stress and faster), and while its out, id replace the rod ,main bearings and oil pump.
