Since I've got that great Stude V8 oil pan leak in addition to my slipping auto tranny, I've decided to "pull" the drivetrain as an entire assembly (?) and attack both units from above and in clear view. I hesitated to make this decision due to the pristine condition of the engine compartment, the removal of the hood, etc.... and only so many available "hands"...That being said, before I started, I wanted to be sure that the X-member would not be a problem in the process. At the frame-off restoration, I had already removed the body, so never had to deal with clearances, etc. Am I correct in assuming that I will need to raise the car on all 4 corners on jack stands in order to clear the X-member, the ground, and the front radiator saddle/ hood panel etc ????
