Awesome find!!
 As others have said, no paint or fluffing!!When I was young this was a routine job in the dealership, on any small or big block. Two approaches, 1. Crack the pan bolts loose except at the rear, carefully leverage the pan down far enough to R&R the cover. Re-use the front pan seal with some discreet sealer, a little more at the corners. 2. Don't loosen the pan, pry the cover off, trim the corners off the inner cover pan seal channel (I know!!  ). Use original pan front seal and discreet use of sealer. Use a drift punch on each side to leverage cover back into place.If done properly, no leaks. Use OEM or black cover gasket, NOT a blue Fel-Pro! Bill W

It would be wise anyway to pull the pan to clean any remnants of nylon that may compromise the oil pump.
Looking forward to seeing this Survivor front to back.

Which means a LOT of cleaning with carb cleaner, brake cleaner and then acetone before the sealer. Yes, did a number of them this way, but they ALWAYS seeped in the corners...

I am getting ready to do my 71 LT1... according to the guys on the NCRS boards I am living on borrowed time.
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...

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!
