Very simple install.
Go slow and follow the instructions, compare the valve body and make sure u take off the right one.
If you do replace your stock pan with the 4x4 pan u do need to get the filter that goes with the new pan. It lowers the pickup further in the pan.
don't forget to swap the magnet from the old pan to the new one if you change pans. If you do change pans and forget to swap the magnet the drain comes in very handy, so does some extra fluid.
Cat litter is nice to have around cause this is a messy one.
The results are well worth the mess though

Stocker VB and filter
FTVB and new filter
One of these is a good idea also...the B&M pan gives you good ground clearance if your low like me...its 3 extra quarts. The Ford 4x4 oan and the ford racing pan hang down a little too much IMO
