ok just pulled the old engine today. it is a 2 piece rear seal 350. besides the flywheel and coupler will everything else change over to my new 1 piece seal block, such as starter, p/s pump, harmonic balancer, bell housing, etc etc?

Yessir! As long as you run the same diameter flywheel the starter will be good. Some of the older 350's had a 158 tooth ring gear which takes a different offset then the 168 tooth.
