Can't remove pan from '48Merc. engine which is in '40 Ford STD.2 dr. In side of pan is hanging up on flywheel , not crank counterweights.

Can you move the pan around at all?

When I worked on my ‘50 Ford, I had to remove the nut on the front motor mounts and jack up the motor in order to remove the pan.
