Superformance oilpan
 
Anyone R&R a 351w kick out canton type pan with the motor in the car? Without leaks?

Might need to remove one or both engine mounts, mount dependent.

I built stud guides by cutting the heads off of 2" or longer bolts for the 4 corners. Made alignment easy and then installed a few of the smaller side bolts to secure it into location.

Yup, went together w/o leaks.

Give some thought to installing a set of oil pan reinforcement rails if you don't already have them:

When I did my pan I switched from bolts to studs and flange nuts, along with reinforcing rails. Used Permatex Ultra Black on the gasket surfaces. No leaks.

Canton pan? Check out the comments here about one-piece vs 4-piece gasket sets: https://www.ffcars.com/threads/one-p...25/post-867331

The reinforcing rails should only be used on oil pans with a flat gasket sealing surface, many pans have a contoured sealing surface to better hold the rubberized cork gasket.

You sure your leak is not the rear seal?
