2 hours? Damn, you must have experience on a Top Fuel drag team.

On the SPF, the pan drops straight down between the frame rails (no crossmember directly across the bottom of the engine). The only trick was getting the saddle bearings out. Used a couple fabricated "tools" to accomplish this (think bent cotter pin)...that was the toughest part. Plastigaged everything to within .001-.002 and the rest was just torquing it all back together properly. Probably had 8 hours in the job by the time I was done...I'm very meticulous and take my time on most jobs.
