I was looking at past threads here and probably didn’t go back far enough, so I don’t know if this has come up before. Has anyone changed the rear main seal on a 383 without disassembling the whole engine?
Wow! Learned something today! Thank you!And please do not forget the ever present Valve covers. One trick I used to use is clean the engine with Brake clean real good, let it dry completely, then spray some foot talcing powder over the back of the engine. It will show up like an arrow.

Did you manage to change your seal with out removing the transmission? Tell me more .In my current 383 in the fury I managed to roll a new rope type seal in without taking everything apart.

Did not pull the trans. Had my a500 in there at that pointDid you manage to change your seal with out removing the transmission? Tell me more .
YupOn the old cars with a 2 piece seal you don't have take the transmission out.
It's all done with removing the oil pan (don't forget to rotate the crank) and taking the rear cap off.
Hers a pic of the new seal I’m going to use.
I’m not sure what the Small black tubes or the L shaped parts are for
