I am well on my way to installing an Aviaid oil pan. This past weekend I managed to cut out the parking brake bracket and cross member. In doing so and staring up at the original starter I remembered a post about not being able to remove the starter without either removing the header or disassembling it in place, (Mini / Hi-Torque starters). My question is, can the starter be removed if the oil pan is out of the way? I find scope creep often occurs when working on the Pantera but if access is there with the pan out now would be the time to swap the OEM starter for the Hi-Torque PMGR starter.

Steve, when you get around to replacing the cut crossmember with a removable one, remember to NOT pull the rails together if the fit is too loose. Instead, shim as required for a slip fit. Likewise, if its too tight, don't force the things. Maybe selective grinding on the crossmember ends will allow things to fit up. Both forcing or pulling in with the a-arm bolt will somewhat change your rear wheel alignment by repositioning the lower rear a-arm(s).
