You can either use an H.O. motor, its wiring harness, and computer, which requires a lot of work. Or you can use the H.O. motor but still reuse the renix computer and sensors. You will just have to plug the renix sensors into where the H.O. ones go. Expect for the IAC, you need to get an adapter to fit the renix one into the H.O. throttle body. I would go this route. I've looked into it a lot for myself.

you would also need the HO intake/exhaust minifolds as the head castings are different.

Oil pan gasket area. Mostly from the rear. Maybe the oil pan gasket went Cockeyed in the back or something. I got the gasket from checker. It's the rubber one.

I would have it taken back off before someone came over to help.

Did you put a little rtv around the back corners where the rear crank bearing cap meets the block? Or is it a rear main?

What about battery? An underpowered battery can cause long crank time
