Well, that was a story. Monty and I are working on a WC51 that was nicely restored. Unfortunately, the lower end of the engine let loose and the crankshaft was not salvageable. 3 engines became one, and we are about to put the beast back together. The TM was most helpful, and here is the link to the PDF.

We are taking the splash guards out, leaving the transfer case in place, and dropping engine and trans in as a unit.
Are there any pre-lube suggestions? Which is the preferred sealant for the intake exhaust manifolds / gaskets? Torque specs and tightening sequences might also help, as I didn't see them in the TM.
Anything else that might make our project successful would help.
I would really like to have this unit broken in and parade ready very soon. (An event is happening, and this unit would be the icing on the cake). I will start another thread for the event, and if my TSN cameraman isn't on a paying gig ... I will get him to post some pics of the re-assembly, and on the new thread, our event.
We will Get 'Er Done, but if I can rely upon your experience (and knowledge of the things to avoid), we can make this happen right ... The First Time!
