Yes Locktite, yes one per side. Serrated head bolts from Mr. Gasket. Grade 8's and split washers a distant second choice.
And I guess for the gasket, the Milodon cork and black RTV seems like the option to try?
NO! not cork-Milodon #40405! It's composite. No Locktite RTV's- Ford Motorsport gray for diesel apps. $23 per tube.
One last question - is this going to be a PITA if the car is only up on jack stands and not a lift? Doesn't seem like it will, but then I'm the rookie, so comments are welcome.
Yes it's a PITA-like everything important you'll do on the car.
