What is the best way to repair the front main seal with the engine in the car? What other gaskets will I need to replace as well? Any tools that will make the process go easier?

Just checked, there are two bolt holes by the pump. The top one has a bolt in it, the bottom one does not. Should I put some thread sealer on this bolt or is the problem possibly elsewhere? thanks

The Summit 1103 cam is always a good choice on a budget, but is best matched to a set of Vortec heads as well. I'm running that combo and it really woke the car up. (I have a 76.) I wouldn't upgrade...

The Summit 1103 is a good cam and close to the profile of the one in the GM 350HO crate engine. I'd swap in new heads though, the GM iron Vortec heads are always a good choice on a budget and...

Yeah, it looks like the part that has the beveled edge is for the 3.0L engine and not the 3.8L Taurus / Sable engine. I'll order the one from the 3.8L engine that is completely square. It has the 16"...

The coolant level is good. I had the cap open to check the levels and get the air out of it. Had to top it off a couple times before taking it out the first time.
