Might go up to HF and get a crane and engine stand, and put her in the garage for a clean up job. Hopefully the wife doesn't get too pissed.

If the engine was in good running order, at the bare minimum I would replace the real main seal before you drop it in the truck. The other things can be cleaned up or addressed down the road.
