Replacing 248 striaght 8 seals

[Model56s]

I need to replace the front and rear oil seals and camshaft seal on the 248 in my 49 Super (Dynaflow). I am thinking that it would be best to pull the engine. Could/should the seals be replaced with the engine in place? I have the shop crane, engine stand, garage space and tools to do the job.

Besides disconnecting everything (fuel, wiring, manifolds, temp & oil guage lines), removing the hood, radiator & its brace and unbolting from the transmission, what else is involved? I also plan on removing the grill, bumper and splash pan as well since that is easy and will open the front up.

 

Your advice and experience are gratefully welcomed!
