TA Buick performance in AZ. has the 4 rear neoprene seals for a Buick 350 in their catalog for $16.95. I have a 72 350 4bl intake manifold if you are looking for one.

Re: 1972 buick 350 real seal
That's priceless!! An old-time rebuilder advised me that a rear main seal for a 312 Ford would work in an Oldsmobile 307 and that the rope seal could be avoided altogether. Didn't believe him until I tried it.

Re: 1972 buick 350 real seal
I thought the 460 Ford worked in 455s, and the 350 took the same seal as the V6. Long ago I worked at Jim Ruggles' when we switched from rope to rubber. I thought the seal we used was from an AMC, but it's been a while.
I see that FelPro sells a neoprene seal for the V6s BS40613. Either way, make sure to polish the knurls down or it can chew the edge off of the neoprene seal (that much I do remember). |
