Help!!! Oil pan replacement for a '99 3.2 engine

Does the 3.2 have main crossbolts through the oil pan?

I assume "main crossbolts" means bolts of a main frame crossmember. If
so, then no. The only thing structural that touchs the pan besides the
bottom of the engine block is a piece at the very back of the pan called
the "structural collar". It bridges the gap between the bottom rear
of the enigne and bottom front of the tranny.
