Lots more great info - thank you

I will likely put an HEI on there, but will get it running first!

What is the best method to remove the seal?
On my Motorcycle main output shaft seal I would use a couple of self-tapping machine screws at 180 into the seal and then pull it out using those
Will that work here or is there a better method?

Where exactly do you put the wooden block shim/block at the bellhousing to protect the main thrust bearing?
(Some of these things will be more obvious/make more sense once I actually get into it)
Edit - OK, think I got that one just wedge a block between back of flywheel and the bellhousing - can do that step while I am swapping the bells, clutch and tranny out

LOVE this forum, a TON of great info and everyone willing to help.
