Well its out BUT I might as well turned the engine/trans
upside down... the ONLY fluid that didnt come out was
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
a match on it and be DONE with it

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 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!
LOL... the other day when I had the pan off I slipped
and fell on the oil on the floor... got a good lump
on the back of my head(stupid stuff) plus I did the
splits.... that wasnt good(I'm too old for that stuff)
but I feel fine now.... other than all the BS with
this engine
I feel your pain.....lately I find myself stepping off my step ladder a few steps too early and it really makes for some funky recoveries.....so far nothing broken

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
