OK... I took two 4x6 and two 4x4 short pieces to distribute the weight on the fenders using rags to prevent scratching, then I used two 2x6s (because they were long enough) across. I did not have a strap I would trust, so I used a come-a-long with a short piece of chain around the lower pulley on the crank. Unbolted the front engine mount (This year only has the 1 mount in the front and 2 in the rear on the bell housing). I lifted it about 1.5 inches (just above the engine mount bolts coming out of the holes on the frame), and the pan came right out.
Here is a pic of the wood and come-a-long. Hopes this helps someone! Thanks for the idea!!!
