Hi jayHK69.

It should be a 2-piece seal.

A 400 is lots of fun. There are a few subtle but cruicial differences between the two in terms of maintenance and upgrading. The two which I tripped over were the larger harmonic balancer and the steam holes in the head (which 350 head gaskets block off

yes, 2 piece as already answered. They are all 2-piece until 1986 as far as I know. 400s and 454s are externally balanced so use different harmonic balancer and flex plate. Correct me if Im wrong. Where abouts in NZ are you Jabba? Im in South Canterbury
