Chrysler's engineers also redesigned the oil seals on the crankshaft to improve anti-leak seal performance.
There was also a "Service Replacement" block made as a modified GEN-3 design. This is a 401 casting (same casting number) without the displacement cast into the side and with a 360 bore and thicker deck. In theory, this single block could be built as any 343-401 GEN-2 or GEN-3 engine.
