ARP Studs: Torque?Lock-Tite?

just that black gasket sealant it comes in a small white bottle. they sell it at just about any auto parts store just brush it all along the chanel where the rear main seal goes in bothe the block and the cap and put the seal in. check to see and mock up your pan gasket because you may have to notch out the pan gasket to accept the rear main seal ears.. Make sure you tap the crank forward and then back after the seal is in and torqued down to set the seal.

The top half shouldnt be to bad. Just check your timing gear MoparDude said he had to set his gear with the dots at 12 and 12 . I have never seen this as afar as i know it should be 6 and 12 for the timing dots with number 1@ TDC.

Whats your top half going to look like???
