Thanks CTH Pulling the Pan means pull the motor ( its out now never put it in yet )
I know that part lol its the rest (Actual Seal install ) I am not sure about

OK Just Took another Look at My 70 SE motor Core and it has No Main Bearing Seal ! but Rather it has a Rope Seal at the rear of the Alloy Oil Pan
And the Block ( Pics Below ) the Main Bearing Caps simply support the Bearings themselves < Most Likely you assumed I knew that > but I never paid any attention to such until today

So That's Good News The Crankcase Oil is contained at the Rear By the Rope Seal " In the Oil Pan Grove & The Grove in the Actual Engine Block
So I answered my own Question again LOL hows that go ? Stupid is as Stupid does ?

( Not in the Rear Main Bearing Cap block like most Cars .
These Photos will show the Actual rope Seal Etc
