Default Engine almost out!!!

Ok guys I have the intake the valve covers and all of the front accessories of and all the wiring harness out. The next step is to unbolt the torque converter, and engine from bell housing and take the motor of its mounts. i am then going to send it off to the machine shop to determine whether i need a bore, which i probably do, install cam bearings, and resurface crank and rebuild the heads. My question is how hard is it to replace the front tranny seal while the engine is out and anything else i can do while its out. Hope to get it running in the first part od october

as far as i know it's 6 bolts on the front plate. unbolt it, replace the seal and pop it back in. i do know everything is spring loaded so make sure you do it slowley and check for tension as you pull it apart, everything is spring loaded in a tranny.

love your quote!
