the difference is gonna be the flywheel. 2- piece RMS flywheels have a much larger center bolt pattern to the engine than a 1-piece RMS (about 3/8" diameter differece). but this is just the hole in the middle. the clutch and everything else will bolt right up to either flywheel, as long as they have the same number of teeth.

The LT 1 flywheel is completely different. I'm not sure if anyone makes one for a two piece crank.
