Thanks for the compliment PKRWUD.

why do people still call the 302 a Windsor? That's always bugged me. lol.

You know, I never did understand that either. The only thing that I can think of is that it is so much like the 351W only smaller. So many things will interchange between the two.

Chris75, you have to take the flywheel off to visually see if it is a 2 piece or 1 piece. A one piece rear seal looks just like the one you put on your rotors(wheel seal) only bigger. A two piece seal is two pieces of rubber with metal reinforcement. It is sandwiched in the back main bearing cap. I am not sure when they changed that over either. But the old ones I assure you are 2 piece. I prefer the 1 piece since they are easier to change. I can live with having a 2 piece vs having a green casting.
