[DeTomaso] Pan replacement

[Sean Korb]

Thanks Mike, It was very hard for me to resist commenting on the
engine location :)

I counted the number of turns on the trunnion nut and when i put it
back it worked fine.  I also had to remove the motor so I disconnected
the shaft but marked it with a silver pen.  That got it very close
when I put it back together.
