I was wondering what is the difference between a 2PC rear seal kit and a 1PC rear seal kit?? and which of these kits will be good for a 355or383. im debating which one to choose from, i plan on running the motor with N2O so i dont know if i should just stick witht he 355 and add a pair of some good AFRs and a good cam...
here is the link to the eagle kits:

and by the way its gonna be a street car with full bolt-ons and suspension....i just think i can go with the 355 and run n20 with full bolt-ons and good suspension and rip some A*holes out in the streets.. and if the both kits come about the same price i might as well go with the 383?

go 383

and the 2 pc rear main seal is the older SBC. you have a nwewer one, so you want a 1 piece.

and i'd go w/ a 383.... leaves you more open to options

Some of the fastest LT1s out there run ported stock heads, but they have to be done by someone who really knows their way around those heads.

Also the Eagle kits are not really worth it unless you get the all-forged assemblies, their cast cranks are not even as good as the stock ones.

iTrader: (14)

Scat makes comparable pieces to Eagle but it is rumored that they have slightly better QC although I don't know if that is proven.
