It is so easy to seal those things up on the ground, and so very hard to do it in the car. To what Joel said I would also add the selector and throttle shaft seals, a nice new pan gasket, and new o-rings on the band adjusting screws.

If the trans is from a 51 and has the drain plugs on the face of the convertor you will need to drill clearance holes in the flex plate to accommodate.

See if you can borrow some sort of real transmission jack to help you. You will need to jack the car up rather high to get the trans under, and then the trans has to be tilted far forward so that you can get the tailshaft up inside the X-member of the frame and slid rearward before bringing the front up level.
