I picked up NOS timing cover and NOS oil pan gaskets and plan on just doing it in the car - I will use a piece of card board laid out for bolt locations when I pull the bolts so I can get them back into the same exact placement.

Wow, with the tilt hood, that is REALLY going to be a PITA job. It's hard enough laying over the front.
I wish you well...

My 1980 vette rounded a lobe on the cam on the way back to college in the early 90's.
The next morning down in the fraternity house parking lot --- I got an early jump at about 6 am and was breaking the cam in by noon.
This should be a much less hectic job!
