Look up under the rear shelf, just above where the muffler resides, where the brake light wires run on the backside there is an area that accumulates dirt and debris over the years because it is not usually accessible. I sanded mine down to metal, epoxy sealer / primered and replaced the undercoating and paint so that it will last another 60 years without rusting.

First choice - get those two upper bolts to stay in place whilst replacing the engine. Hose clamp and glue, weld on washer, wire the two bolts to the trans housing.
Second - install a full flow oil filter - you will never regret it.
Thirdly - redo the engine walls with new "insulation." It is a definite PITA to do with the engine in.
Hope I'm not to late

Excellent points. I would add, put the flexible fuel line on the engine hard line while the engine is out. Once the engine is in it's WAY easier to attach the flex line to the hard line coming through the tunnel than to try to get it on the engine. You might want to put a fuel filter in the flex line too.

Clutch for sure and you have the tools you could also do a crank flywwheel seal. May change the plugs since it's a bit easier and if you have the time how about a vavle adjust? Alan The Stable.

No doubt about it but you mush replace the starter bushing and perhaps the bushing for the release bearing also input tranny seal and if you can the shift seal. Alan The Stable.

But in a thread about what to do when the engine is out, #53 has the wrong information.
