I have a 54 chevy 235 being rebuilt. Should original rope rear main seal be replace with neoprene seal?

Is additional machine work required? If so, what?
Many Thanks.
Jones

Others smarter than I am may correct me but I think you'll want to use the rope seal on your 54. The neoprene seal wasn't used until later.

Get an old style rope seal, they have asbestosin them which makes them seal better. Check the links I think the Stovebolt Engine Co. still has them.

Good Luck
