take your old seal to a parts house and match it up....seeing is believing....you are doubting the very picture of the very part you photographed as the seal you need...

I'm not doubting anything just asking if the external seal is the only rear seal on the 1949 Dodge Wayfarer engine.

One thing that does not get talked about enough is that back before about 1975 or so, many of these cars got replacement engines. In those days they would swap out the engine for a rebuilt one on the shelf.  Then they would just stamp into it the old number...

 

...so, sometimes unless you can figure out the exact block from the casting numbers and old photos one may not have the block that you think you have even if the model and serial number matches the paperwork.

 

On the block I just built it was an industrial engine and it has provisions for both the internal two half seal as well as the holes for the external on the back of the block seal.
