Topic has come up before on the other forums. I haven't personally done it but I know it has been done.

Engine has to be unbolted from the mounts and jacked up. Most put wooden blocks between mounts and frame to keep it lifted up. It can be raised until the tranny hits the firewall. Fan will probably have to be removed.

One major issue is getting the pan to clear the pickup. I think the ones that did it in truck dropped the pan and snake the old gasket out and popped a new one in with the pan still sitting on the frame.
