Craig replies:

The crankshaft seal is relocated about .050" to the front to accommodate the
revised 164 crankshaft. I understand that base gaskets can be stacked under
the seal to permit a late crank in an early bell housing.  Clarks also sells
the spacer: http://www.corvair.com/user-cgi/catalog.cgi?function=goto
