That would probably be a great idea since you have it out. It's better to work forward than backwards. I learned that on the 75 I used to have. If an auto tranny look at the flexplate for any broken or worn teeth. Are you keeping it original or any power adds for it? Post some pics and someone will see something you may need to address.

Congrats!

If you are pulling the oil pan, reinstall with a Fel-Pro one piece pan gasket set. It will solve most oil leak problems.
