So here's the update. The car is leaking pretty much everywhere it can. the main culprits are on the drivers side of the block twords the front there is a pipe comming out of the side of the block and pointing down. this was leaking pretty bad. i did some resarch and i think it belongs to the emissions system which has long since gone bye-bye. anyways i tried to plug that with a piece of hose with a bolt in the end and that made the rear main start puking oil. I am thinking i am going to try and get one of those small breather air cleaners which would allow the pressure to escape but keep most of the oil in the engine. The other option i was kicking around i my head was to run a piece of hose to the intake manifold to create a vaccuume situation to relieve the pressure in the crankcase. so much for getting it drivable for next week
p.s. for doing the rear main conversion kit does the motor have to come out of the car or can i just pull the tranny and do it that way?
