Yes, yes do the up pipe gaskets while the trans is out. Now that's a judgement call, its up to you. The thing about mine, they were not leaking but I thought that as long as I had the turbo out I might as well change them out. Looking back I wish I would have left them alone. Oh well

That's for sure on the little hands! It was pretty funny last time I finally got my socket on the back drivers side pedistal bolt, then I couldn't reach my socket wrench. I held onto the extension with my right hand and pulled my cell out of my pocket with my left hand and called my wife. She came out and got it for me, it was laying just out of my reach!

"If you have a Car-Quest car part place close to you they sell a Chevy 350 donut gasket that works real well also. The Part# is F-17250, CarQuest is the only place I have found that sells them because they are Victor Rienz instead of Felpro's. the Felpro's are too hard and will not compress enough. If you do go this route they will fit pretty loose over the pipe, grease them up really well and tighten down the marmon clamps like crazy till it seats the gasket all the way around. I have had real good success doing those like that. "
He didn't telll me a sucess story about the brass donuts. The brass donuts have to be heat retorqued. Like you said, you have to have midgit heads or little girl hands to do that. All I could get out of Matt at Beans is that he used a snub wrench?? I guess that's a wrench cut off??
