The flywheel bolts into the crankshaft and the flywheel bolts onto the torque converter. The RMS doesn't get in the way (shouldn't).

The difference is that a one piece doesn't leak as much.

Yes it matters greatly. The bolt pattern on the back of the crank is different, and therefore the flywheel or flex plate does not interchange between the 2.

Your 86 should have the 1-piece (1st year of it). So that block should fit. However, if it doesn't, just get the right flex plate for it. The 350 converter will bolt to a stock 700 flex plate.

Yes, basically that's it. The 350 converter bolt pattern it the same as the 700 converter bolt pattern, so the 350 converter will bolt to the stock flex plate for one of these cars.
