I went with the 250 L6 seal and wire method. I installed the wire on the outboard side of the seal to keep the seal positioned as far forward against the Block groove as possible. The ends of the seal butt up nicely and I staggered them like normal. Haven't run it on the Dyno yet but it looks like it should work. Thanks for all the input.
