Make sure you get the bolts towards the very rear of the pan on the outside. They kinda hide behind the raised ribs where it starts to flare out for the bell housing. I missed them the first time and couldn't figure out why the pan would not break loose. Once I found and removed them it popped right off.

good build so far, biggest piece of advice i can give you is while you have the oil pan off get the fitting for the return welded on. I did the drill and tap method and even with a gasket the thing starts leaking eventually. I wish I had taken it off and gotten it welded.

welding is a good idea its one less thing you will ever have to worry about, especially if you like to take hard left turns.
