K-Member Removal with Engine in Place?
Wow thanks everybody for the replies! Lots of ideas here.
I'm leaning toward fabbing a cross-bay support out of a 4x4 to control the tendency to tip and jacking/blocking under the pan for most of the engine weight.
Car is already up on 4 jackstands (and the rear wheels) for the suspension work - might have to move the front ones about an inch forward to completely clear the K-member for drop-down.
