i just changed my oil pan gasket over the weekend, on my 92 GT. i had to drop the rack and pinion. ( was changingit anyways.) but with it out of the way you can drop the pan down far enough to change the gasket. its a tight fit, but can be done.... forget about getting the pan all the way out, unless you drop the tranny and lifting the engine.

goodluck with it

your biggest prob will be cleaning surface of pan and block to prep it for a new gasket

Took me 45 minutes - 1 hour to replace the pump. All you need to do is unbolt the motor mounts and the fan shroud the jack up the motor.
Make sure you get a one peice gasket.
