adaptor for 2 piece to 1 piece rear main seal?

I have a 383 crank for a two piece from a previously planned build that never came about. Now I am in the process of building the 383 but I have a 1 piece rear main seal block. Is there a conversion kit or some way to use the older style cranks in the newer style blocks?

Yep. Here are a few: http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...7853&D=-157853

Might be able to find them cheaper elsewhere, I dunno.

Thanks, after I put in the post I kept digging and found the same ones. Now to determine if its worth it or if I should just sell the other crank and start with a new kit...

For what the adapters cost, I'd either get a new crank or a new block.

That's just a bit much to spend for what you get..
