1960 Sunliner oil pan

I'm attempting to remove the oil pan on a 352fe. I removed the engine mount bolts and tried to raise the engine but the whole body starts lifting and the engine doesnt seperate from the mounts. What am I missing? Everything I have read says I am doing it right. Trans and exhaust manifolds are still connected to the motor. Other than that its just the block and heads.

Re: 1960 Sunliner oil pan

Sounds like 55 years of corrosion is stronger than the weight of the car. Try some rust penetrant and a hammer and pry bar on the engine mounts to free them up.
