+1 to elgyqc and adding in engine mount and transmission mounts. It all may seem like a lot to add on to the overall cost, but it is all stuff that will save time and money if done correctly now.

Consider that some of this stuff may have already been done to the car or engine in the last couple years and if it checks out, that's fine.

I've gotten very satisfactory answers to these and other questions from the seller. All this work will be done. I have a couple of follow-up questions:

Though the restored engine will have 104,000 miles on it, the rest of the car has something under 75,000. What work should I consider having done on the car before I take it home? I can wait to make cosmetic or ergonomic changes until later, but I'm wondering about what I might do with the transmission, the suspension, anything, really, while it's being put back together. I'm afraid I am quite ignorant about all this and could use all the help y'all're up for tossing my way.
