Well there's always trash bags and duct tape- always there when you need 'em like a trusty friend.
...but yeah the plug works better.

i have followed your struggle with this and all i can say is,it could have been worse,if it had been me that oilleak would have caught fire and then i would have forgot about covering up the trans or emptying it before pulling it and there would have been a big puddle of transfluid on the floor  look at it from the bright side your in your homeshop atleast and it will turn around just give it some time its a real cool car!

splits.... that wasnt good(I'm too old for that stuff)

diff fluid... trans fluid came out the speedo hole
even with the gear in it... oil came out where I have
the fittings on the block for the remote filter and
of course water came out the lower hose... yeah it
took 2 full rolls of towels and oil dry.... but the
DAMN THING is on the ground.... I was ready to throw

I remember pulling the B1Ba heads off the 408 when I put my Indybrocks on it. I litteraly sucked the coolant out with my han helb mityvac, and also took the same mityvac to the heads to suck oil out of the valleys. I was so paranoid of dumping oil/coolant on my freshly painted hot rod that it took me about 6hr longer than it should have, but I didnt scratch the car, or spill a drop.
I even have those handy petcocks in the water plugs and I stil had coolant to suck out when I drained the block.
With head studs it was easy to RR the heads. I left 2 short studs in the block to center the heads as I took them off and installed the new ones.
Im like you Mike, I hate a mess to tromp through whan playing cars in the garage.

I use a old tailshaft yoke. First I put a zip tie around the tail shaft housing loosely then loop a zip tie thru each u joint hole and thru the zip tie on the housing. Tighten everything up and it's not going anywhere.
I also deleted my speedo hole with a frost plug. No leaks for me
Mr P things could be a lot worse. When I first read the title I thought it said "Sometimes I piss myself"

I usually spend more time looking for an odd size bolt than it would take to go to a hardware store and buy a new one. It never fails,if I can't find a tool I want and look for hours on end for it,I will trip over it when I give up looking. Put a full drain pan of oil under whatever you are working on,and you know where your tools will end up.  Keith

Bifocals?? yea I know the feeling, step off the ladder early,trip over somthing, run into a door jamb,,,done it all, and still alive to tell/laugh about it so I guess it's all good.
