I've done the rear main seal on a HEMI in both B and E bodies in car, no different than doing a smallblock or B/RB, drop the center link, if your running a "stock" pan you shouldn't have to undo any motor mounts to raise the engine slightly, an aftermarket pan chances are you'll need to raise the engine off the mounts for removal depending on the sump/pick up design




FYI...it seems the crate HEMI's have a bad rep for rear main seals, don't be surprised if the lip is installed backwards
