The fan does push air out the rear. The biggest problem with the Goat was broken U joints. Much more tourque than the 353 and you will be in even worse shape. Too bad an auto wasn't set up for the Goat. That would protect the drive train from the popped clutch's etc.
It's no hot rod, I've...

This will fill the filter housing and the pump on the IP. It takes a lot of pumping but you will know for sure when the system is full. I'd recomend filling the fuel filter housing manually before closing up. This will limit the use of the primer greatly

Just from your picture I'd say it was the counter shaft plug leaking. The gasket at the bottom under the plug looks pretty soaked. If you are this far why not pull the flywheel and check/replace the rear seal? Your well on the road to doing a great job.
Key words here are "If there are no problems" If the bolts were not tightened right or have loosened up a little they sure will leak.
I'm real surprised that with that much oil it doesn't migrate out the inputshaft bearing cap, it's open, no seal...
When the transmission is hot the oil viscosity drops letting it leak through areas that it normally would not, or at a faster rate. The only way to really diagnose the problem is to take it apart. Every situation is different. It may be a rear main seal leaking and for the same reason, getting...

My M35A2 did exactly what yours is doing, leaking at the belhousing after a run. I figured it was a rear seal untill I removed the transmission. The clutch, transmission and inside of...
Everything you can read about the ROBO IMPACT tool says break the nut loose first, with a breaker bar etc. They are to expidite nut / bolt removal not break um loose.
Here is a real good article from those in the know.
I've had real good luck dealing with the manufacturer. Nice people...

The brushes do get greasy if the seal on the rear bearing has failed. The carbon will absorb oil.............
Probably any generator/starter rebuild shop would be the first guess.
I use paint thinner to get all the grease off the brush. It doesn't have to soak just wipe it off clean. A Q-tip with some thinner will clean out the brush holder. Try not to get thinner on the commutator or windings. The...
