I think I remember him saying that it is such a bitch to drop the pan in those and the Vortech kit recommends doing it while still on the car, just give the oil a flush to get those shavings out.

yeah you cant drop the pan because it sits on the crossmember.

Disconnect both motor mounts and jack the fucker up as high as you can. You should be able to sneak it out?

Ballsy not dropping the pan!

I was thinking its going to be a huge pain in the ass to drop the oil pan in my boat :-\

ahh, good idea. but you would have to jack it up from the bellhousing on the trans it would need to be braced to the jack pretty good so it didint fall off.
edit
or pull it up with a cherry picker.. didint think of that

------ sweet job on the pan :)
Although a B+ on the JB usage. Look at that big glob drooping down :P
Id show you a pic of my return, but my desktop took a big steamy one, and its not on this computer.

JB weld; its all in the prep and mix, lol

i thought about jackin the motor up as much as i can, but i asked around and its still a PITA to get the pan off. you gotta get the pan half way off, so you can see the oil pickup, then somehow reach inside and take off the pickup and then the whole pan came out.

and no i didnt drill the holes. i used a punch ;) then a bigger punch, then a 1/2 drive 1/2 sized socket to push it out even more.
then i took my tap and dipped it in grease... to hole the shavings from the tap. and taped it. then threaded my fittings in and jbwelded around them.

greasing up the tap is what vortech has you do on their s/c kits.

i also bought a magnetic drain plug, and a magnet to put on the bottom of the pan.

ya'll bitches who predict blown motor can lick... mah... balls :-*

also installed my battery in the truck

$9.99 battery box
$16.00 welders cable
4 random bolts...
my drill
my old connectors = battery in the truck ;)

Dang thats really a good idea, never really thought about just using a punch and making a hole. It wouldnt leave any materal at all in the pan, just flare it out. I'm so gonna do that to the pan on my boat.

i think I remember something about putting the maf on the intake side of the turbo, but that was a single turbo setup... looks hella interesting. I'm probably going to turbo this miata I found at the jyard for 500 bucks once I get the 5.0 swap in.
