There are several rear main seals to choose from. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member and licensed Superstock driver MCA member# 53321 NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00,'01,'02,&'03 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl Quote #1: "I never met a magazine mechanic I liked."

Kyle Gearhead Posts: 240 From: Sumner, WA Registered: Dec 2001	posted 02-04-2003 02:05 PM Don't forget too that 289 cranks have that lip by the rear main seal that rides in a groove on early 289/302 blocks. Roller motors don't have that groove, and hence their cranks don't have that lip- so you have to machine it off the 289 to work. IP: Logged
