Have you thought of lifting the block and head off the engine,including manifold and carbs.
sorting out the pinch bolt then fit new base gasket and refit the block.
No need to butcher the oil baffles or take the head off.
Re fitting the block is an art form though you need blocks of wood, two ring compressers and a good friend.
If the engine is out of the car it is a bit easier.
