Pretty straight forward really. Drain oil, remove many screws, install new gasket and pan, and reinstall many screws. Oh, BTW, refill with oil.

I don't think you can get away with jacking the engine. You have to lift the engine with a hoist to get it high enough to pull the pan. You can probably get through it in a day if cleaning the pan and block mating surfaces goes quickly. Ask an MB specialist how many hours the job takes then double it.

My Nichols/Chilton 2000 Labor Guide lists the following:

Oil Pan and/or Gasket:
240D 7.3
300CD 9.7
300D 9.7
300SD
1981-85 5.4
1998-99 9.2

There is no listing for 350 SDL

Thumbs up

Seems like a hardcore job for sure. I have an extra 603 pan if you need it.

BTW - this isn't the first SDL I've seen die from a cracked oil pan

Oops!

Next time I will be sure and put on my glasses! I did not see the "l", due to being lower case letters and aging eyes.
