Can't say much about the "block set". I would imagine it has the case o-rings and maybe head gaskets.

 

The 401 set is a complete set: all the gaskets and o-rings except valve cover gaskets. Also valve stem seals, exhaust gaskets, intake gaskets, oil filler neck o-rings, water crossover pipe o-rings, dipstick tube o-rings, etc.

 

What are you planning on doing anyway?

I'm rebuilding the short block, new bearings, pistons, and rings etc. I have the 401 gasket set for this, but see another kit also, if you use a reman short block?

I'm wondering what the difference was? I believe it cost more for the reman block kit. The 401 kit has all the o rings and gaskets included for rebuilding the short block? So why would it cost more? Thicker Head Gaskets for decking the blocks????:confused:

If you're already using a reman'd shortblock, you don't need the case o-rings (there are quite a few), the oil pump o-rings, etc.

 

If you are doing a complete engine, you need all those PLUS the head gaskets, cam seals, front and rear main seals.

 

Long story short: the 401 is for a complete engine rebuild and has everything, except valve cover gaskets.
