Hi Dave,
You can drop the oil pan without a lot of work. You will have to make
sure the crank throws are horizontal so the pan will clear the crank.
Torque is 16 to 18 lb ft. I tighten them in about 3 steps and go back
an forth across the oil pan so I'm not tightening one side at a time.
Then I go around in a circle to double check the torque and to make sure
I didn't skip one somehow.

put in a header and a weber
apparently the clearance between the engine and the frame, even with the
engine mounts loosened, was not quite enough. required a little help.
not such a good idea; you can see on the header the oil, which of course makes
for extra fun while driving. the leak clearly is right at the joint b
thatbs where the stain starts on the header.
I figure I need to remove the oil pan, possibly straighten it, and put in a
new gasket.
any big deal? just drain the oil, unbolt the thing, and then the reverse?
torque in any particular order? anyone know the spec?
