Engine Rear Main Oil Seal
I have a 91' camaro with the 305 in it. I ordered a 355 w/ 1 piece rear seal shortblock from a machine shop in NY. It turns out he sent me an older block that is a 2 piece and will not exchange it for the right one. My question is what would i have to get to make this engine usable in my car.


Thanks
John

if the dip stick swaps sides, you need a diffrent oil pan, and a diffrent oil pan gasket.
